Discussion on: Why React projects still use Redux

The good news is that our official Redux Toolkit package eliminates all the "boilerplate" around using Redux. It includes utilities to simplify several common Redux use cases, including store setup, defining reducers, immutable update logic, and even creating entire "slices" of state at once It also sets up the thunk middleware by default, catches accidental mutations, and more.

I just published a brand-new "Redux Essentials" core docs tutorial, which beginners "how to use Redux, the right way", using our latest recommended tools and practices like RTK and the React-Redux hooks API. I'd encourage you to check it out:

That's brilliant, just incredible, I wasn't aware of these tools and documentation.

Right, I see that immer is included, Redux Thunks is included by default, there are standardized ways of creating the store, actions, reducers ...

This makes everything so much simpler, in large part because it's opinionated, which cuts out huge amounts of discussions, confusion, and "choice fatigue". I say it's about time ... discussion, flexibility and "choices" are nice, but productivity and speed are nicer!

Redux has really matured, so I know what I'll choose for my next project.
