I agree ... I recently went back to using Redux in a project and I'm loving it. Redux at its heart is just a state manager, but because people tie it to React I've gotten people tell me all sorts things about how you don't need it anymore with all its new features. I think the addition of React's hooks and context api actually make Redux easier to use, and I like the purity of its role as a state manager. I personally find that its cleaner to keep the overall application state in redux than to hold onto it inside of React, and leave react to manage its own component's state regarding ui level interactions.
