So what would be your guesstimate on the percentage of redux uses in the wild that are unnecessary and just introduce complexity or boilerplate instead of provi

  FWIW, my current estimates are that roughly 50% of all React apps use Redux. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that maybe 1/3 of those Redux-using apps probably aren't really benefiting from Redux (things like using it _just_ to avoid prop-drilling when you could just use Context, writing reducers that are nothing more than `return action.payload` with no real logic, etc). We've always had an entry in our FAQ section that gives some advice for when it might make sense to put a particular piece of state into Redux vs keeping it in component state. As I rewrite the Redux docs piece by piece, I'm trying to add some additional clarification and emphasis on when you should actually consider using Redux overall.
