You can use reselect in combination with react-redux for a similar effect. Reselect declares a view of the state, and react-redux manages connecting the component to this view. I would say redux differs from baobab in not enforcing a state structure that mirrors the component tree. So it might be that if your state structure matches the component tree baobab is the simpler way, and redux is better if you need to decouple them. I'm using redux with a structure nothing like the component tree. I ended up keeping updates and the tree trivial and keep all logic related to how to present the data in selectors (Reselect). Ending up with a structure not unlike the reflux implementation i was migrating from ;) to isolate parts of the state i have all subtrees export getters and actions so that reselect selectors works with the root getter for the subtree.
