idk if “the overwhelming response” is people dont like Redux. some people are very vocal about their dislike, yes. But 1/3 of survey respondents use Redux despite other choices existing. theres a reason it won the Flux wars.
It won the Flux wars, but there are state management approaches based on paradigms other than flux. There's at least the model that Recoil/Jotai uses (atoms?), the model that MobX/Valtio uses (mutable observable state), the model based on state machines (XState), the model heavily using React context (Constate), etc.
I like (and use) Redux on a daily basis, and I don't think it's a sensible choice for lots of React apps. Maybe the overwhelming rejection that I've witnessed is people discovering that they used it for stuff they shouldn't have.
