Sorry to revive an old thread but I agree. It is overcomplicated it isn't complex. That has little to nothing to do with react, redux or view which have if anything made it more straightforward aside from some general scaffolding/ boilerplate.

What has seemed to be continually getting worse is developers completely overcomplicating problems.

There seems to be a huge focus in this industry to convince people that anyone can code and that all it takes it to learn a programming language which betrays an ignorance the most important part of any engineering profession. The ability to think.

Hopefully its just teething problems.
