I have no problem with someone writing their own state management framework after forgetting or before learning the hard lessons that drove the design of Redux, particularly if it's easier to use for people just getting in to web development. The problem I have is with an author tying their library to Redux, giving those same newer people the impression that it's a simpler, but just as powerful version of the same thing. If they had been upfront about the tradeoffs made here, I would be happy.
