While I understand your point, that's not entirely true; Redux itself is just a state management library, and thus _completely_ decoupled from React. You can use it with any other library/framework. In order for Redux to work with React, you need the _connector_ library, "react-redux". Furthermore, Redux itself is a relatively small library, written in a heavily functional style. True, this may be hard to wrap one's head around for developers new to this, but I can think of no better place to learn due to not only the small size, but a lot of documentation and _very_ active involvement (in GH issues and StackOverflow) by it's author.
