I read:"Sometimes you are going to get event bus." Indeed sometimes simple event bus (pub-sub etc.) could be sufficient for replace Redux. EventEmitter is already a dispatcher. And then you can easily listen to each event in your app, like in Redux.

I think the key to the scalable apps is good architecture (and correct design patterns), not framework.

And Redux is good as education tool. It encourages people to use one global event bus("dispatch" function), it educates about principles of functional programming. It shows people advantages of event sourcing and CQRS. I think the most value of Redux is that people got educated.

But I don't think Redux (at least Redux alone, without Redux-saga or other solutions) is good tool for use in production code. It's too low level. Too many moving parts. No clear way "what should go where". And JS sucks when comes to immutable code (either Object.assign / ... mess or necessity of using third part library like Immutable.js)

Additionally people don't know how to use it properly. Redux codebases are usually much worse than Redux really demands (e.g. people use ugly switch/case despite the fact in Redux docs there are instructions how to get rid of them: http://redux.js.org/docs/recipes/ReducingBoilerplate.html#ge...
