I previously spent time reading about Flux, watching the videos, looking at Flux libs like Fluxxor and it seems overly and unnecessarily complicated to me. The actions layer specifically seems unnecessary as it could be implemented at the Store / model layer. The dispatcher is an event queue system with support for dependencies. To me it makes a lot more sense for React components to push an event directly onto a pubsub event queue which then dispatches accordingly. When data changes anywhere it fires an event that then passes new state to the top level React component. Most of the actions you do to data are boilerplate and can be greatly simplified from Flux. What am I missing? Why is it so complex?
