So, redux? It's either redux or, sorry, "lifecycles magic + probably global_state". And who uses redux in 2025?

Honestly, if you’re getting thru life with this attitude, good for you, but you might want to consider if it’s the only way

I'm doing fine, thank you. Perhaps you didn't understand what I said.

My best ballpark guess for global redux usage in react projects is between 25% and at best 50% if you include redux/TEA-like libraries, but not non-pure usage.

So yes, saying that react is `ui = f(state)` does everyone a disservice. It might be true for you, but it's probably not even the average.

Well, for anyone using Vue you get automatic observability baked in, right? And reactive programming state management libraries within react are plenty popular, not to mention the built in state management being quite literally UI = f(state).

The fact people use the tortured disaster that is redux isn’t really a knock on react in any sane person’s view, we all know the JS community is full of beginners who don’t know better
