Great work.

However: while I feel this cartoon (and other Flux introductions I've seen) capture well the concepts behind Flux, none of them make up for the amount of boilerplate and just over-the-top abstractness (IMO) that goes into actually implementing vanilla Flux.

To me that is the biggest problem to make it easier for people to adopt it, not understanding the concept.

This. Once I got my head around flux, it made sense, and I understood why its a good way of designing the data flow inside a web application, but as someone who likes to hack together projects quickly, setting up a flux architecture required a lot of effort on my side, effort I would rather spend building out functionality.

My advice: drop Flux, and use Redux instead. There is less boilerplate, and it improves on Flux's original ideas.
