The majority of developers don't have the time or interest to dig deep into nitty gritties of the React community & ecosystem. They read articles including yours and quickly become indoctrinated into thinking how (for example) putting ALL state into a redux store is a proper way to work with React. This leads to hilarious codebases where people dispatch actions in order to update input values or navigation dropdown open/closed states etc. Trivial apps that could be built over a weekend end up taking weeks to finish. It's a sad reality but most people (including developers) take everything they read at face value and don't devote enough time to critical thinking. We should try to combat this. I'm not saying it's your fault (it's not, you're great), but perhaps you should put a bit more effort into stating how what you're propagating is just one way of writing code and shouldn't be used in all situations (especially simple apps). I've actually seen you do that in a couple of places in the past few months and that's great. I do feel a bit bad about sitting in my chair criticising while you're contributing with all this awesome stuff but you know... with great power comes great responsibility :-)
