Discussion on: Why React projects still use Redux

I can imagine the difficulty and frustration of understanding redux for beginners, especially if they don't have CS background to back up with many concepts (software architecture, best practice, data flow...). However you're very right on saying that people should consider it, as there is 50% chance that they will meet this at the job. Many apps aren't built today and they have grown big, and it costs the company a lot of money to rewrite or convert it to newer version, not to mention, from a business perspective there is no incentive to do so if the purpose is just to make it easier to developers!

This is the same as Svelte vs. React, no matter how amazing I personally think Svelte is, the job perspective is much lower than React at the moment. So I would learn React first, try to get a job, and have fun with Svelte in my spare time. Until I become a senior who gets to decide what to use, I guess have NO SAY on what to use at all. I just have to follow whatever they prefer, right? :)

Hi Annie, as a Svelte enthusiast I know what you say. I wonder if there are big apps out there build with Svelte. There is also this issue here: github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/... .

Yeah within the community we're discussing about showcases. It seems there are some relatively big apps, but they're not widely known. The thing is, only more people are using this, there can be more contribution for bug fix or extra libraries. I see in the report the interest to learn Svelte is quite high, so it's a good sign. :)

Haing some showcases would surely bump those numbers even more over the years, as technical decision makers look for technologies that are proven in the industry most of the time :)
