I am the author of react-cursor, which abstracts over the react immutability helpers[1], which I have used in four large projects. It scales great and I recommend it over full-on action-store-dispatcher flux (redux and the rest) for almost all projects except the very largest (like multiple frontend teams). Action-store-dispatcher is less direct and has an abstraction tax compared to just connecting views to state directly. A React.js lead even just wrote on twitter [2], "Starting to see a trend of premature fluxing of react apps. Try plain @reactjs first and bring in flux only when you absolutely need it." Here's a screenshot of a pretty big project that scaled great with cursors: http://curator-lilita-10664.bitballoon.com/work-area-metadata.png http://curator-lilita-10664.bitballoon.com/work-area-metadat.... We had all sorts of complexity scaling problems while building this, but none of them were due to state management, migrating to cursors made 99% of pain due to complicated ui state go away.
