MobX is fantastic! But you do have to change your philosophy quite a bit compared to what you would do in vanilla React - namely you need to displace most of your state management to the outside of the components. Once you do that, React becomes purely functional (and quite "uni-directional", if that's the right term). Just update the state (in an event handler or when a Promise resolves after a fetch or another part of the UI finishes) and UI auto-magically reflects that on the screen. Arguably, MobX + React is closer to the React's original ideal of `UI = f(state)` than the vanilla React itself.
