I completely agree here. and I think if most people followed these last 3 lines, there might be what, 6 projects using React?

I find the highlighted article on Facebook's "reason" for inventing Flux/Redux very laughable. - This message unread indicator kept saying (1). And how it went away with bug fixes and came back...

Did they ever stop to realize they just had some really bad devs working on the chat app? Any re-write, whether they had to invent flux or not would have fixed that indicator. It's a false story.

Much more than six projects for sure. Nice pun though. I started using React before the hype train. I couldn't care less about Facebook's reasons but I enjoy the fact they somehow built a library which is a good fit for some of my projects.

I don't like Redux that much. All React based frameworks I like are not even written in JavaScript.
