Yep. The Redux "Three Principles" docs page [0] emphasizes the "single source of truth" aspect. It's a good selling point, but has unfortunately led to a lot of folks interpreting that as "you _must_ keep _everything_ in Redux". (Doing so is a valid design decision, and I've certainly talked to folks who deliberately did that to make everything trackable and time-travel-able. But, most UI state probably doesn't need to go in Redux, particularly form state [1].) In reality, there should be a good balance between global and local state. I wrote a Redux FAQ entry that tries to give some rules of thumb for determining what state goes where [2]. When we do the docs revamp, hopefully we can make that kind of thinking more explicit. I'd be very interested in hearing more details on any issues you may be having with React-Redux, and I'm happ

y to offer advice for you or anyone else on using it better. HN comments aren't a great place for that, but please file an issue for discussion or contact me in the Reactiflux chat channels on Discord in the #redux channel. I'd also greatly appreciate any feedback folks would have on weaknesses with the current docs, so we can improve those issues with the docs revamp. We've had open issues to cover writing a "Performance" docs page for a long time, but no one got around to contributing that, and there's been too many other higher priorities for us to write it. My React/Redux links list does have a section of articles on improving Redux perf [3], if that helps, and there's an FAQ section on that topic [4]. In general, connect more components [5], and use memoized selectors [6] to read data and do transforms.

Which specific "best practices" are you referring to? Ignore the CSS-related discussions for now. React itself doesn't care how you handle the CSS in your app. You can write standalone stylesheets and match the classnames in your HTML output, same as you always have, write inline styles, or use one of the fancy new "CSS-in-JS" libs that have popped up. Other than that, the aspects of "reusability" and "easier to work with than hand-written DOM manipulation" are certainly true. "Easy to learn" is just an observation, not a reason to use it. In general, React is beneficial if you're doing any kind of interactive client-side application, regardless of how big your company is. It provides a consistent mental model for how your app is constructed and updated: given some set of state values, the resulting UI output will be X, and the data a

nd updates flow top-down in the tree. This becomes more valuable as the size of the client-side logic and UI grows. I'd suggest taking some time to actually try out React and get a feel for how it works in practice. The easiest way to do it is to open up https://codesandbox.io and start a new React project. Here's a couple meta-links that may be helpful for learning more. My suggested list of resources for getting started with React: http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/12/blogged-answers-lea...
