Discussion on: Redux is half of a pattern (2/2)

Right now It's difficult for me to find a good use case for using any external state management library.
We have learned that keeping state of the forms in redux is a bad idea.
I used to see a lot of people using redux as a cache for api responses, but things like swr are so much better for this.
Another reason was to allow the state live longer than the component using it - but for that it's usually better to persist it in the localStorage.
And for the "global" state in case of react built in context works great.
