Yeah, as I tried to make clear in the post, there's many other excellent tools and libraries in the ecosystem, and they _do_ overlap with the kinds of use cases that might have made people pick Redux in the past. For the record, I've never wanted _everyone_ to use Redux, and I agree with criticisms that Redux has been frequently over-used. All I want is for folks to look at their use cases, take the time to evaluate tools, and make intelligent decisions about what tools best solve their problems. Unfortunately, the nature of social media and the development community just doesn't seem to work that way. No one seems to write posts saying "here's a new tool, here's how it compares to existing tools, and here are the tradeoffs involved and the use cases where they might each be relevant". It's always "LOL TOOL X IS DEAD NOW!", even if Tool Y is brand new and has 10 downloads and 2 GH stars while Tool X's daily downloads continue to increase.
