Redux has been so popular for a long time. That means there are lots of libraries that work well with it. As Recoil is still a young project, you don't have so many libraries available, at least for now.

Also, there are tons of information online about Redux. That's very useful if you find a bug or a problem using the library because it will be easier to find how others solved that problem.

If you use Recoil and something goes wrong, it will be way harder to google how to solve it. That's also because it's a new tool.

Redux is better suited for large, complex applications. In these large codebases, the boilerplate code isn't that much of a problem.
