React is very simple. You need to understand only its basic life cycle. Rest is just JavaScript.

  I disagree as soon as you write more than a single nested child/parent component, that requires a different way of thinking (should I use state or props?). And that you can't "just uses react". You kind of have to use redux (or similar) as well as a bunch of other stuff.

    People keep saying you 'have to use redux' but I think that's hugely misleading to a large section of potential React users who don't need the highly complex state management that redux facilitates, and could get by just fine with setState+props. I'd hope that people who are being exposed to this idea at least also get the chance to read 'You Might Not Need Redux': https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/you-might-not-need-redux-be46360cf367 https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/you-might-not-need-redux-be4...

      Amen to that. Seems like everybody is cargo culting Redux but really you can get pretty far with just React plus some wrapper components to hold state.

    You don't need to use redux. But it's very useful to manage state. I went from using simple components to flux to redux all in same project. For me State management is a very part of client ui.
