Using FSMs to manage code complexity feels like I was missing out on a great design pattern. Also, I believe if it is applied to a system like React it is a design bordering on being insanely great. I'm not sure why FSMs weren't emphasized as a design pattern when I was getting my undergraduate degree. I believe I have found situations where FSMs would have enhanced my code quality but the things I learned in school didn't emphasize this at all. I did learn about FSMs in my languages and automata class though.
