What was it about React that made you feel stupid? I can see how Redux would make someone feel that way but react is so simple I'm having a hard time visualizing someone not liking it for that reason.

Imo, doing it the "right way" and scalable requires a fair amount of knowledge about React before you pick it up. Things like ducks structure, redux thunks, store vs local state and other advanced usages. While not strictly necessary, it becomes increasingly important when building a large application. And then each of these are not official plugins so there's lots of differing opinions on how these pieces fit together.

With Vue you can write a scalable understandable application using the documentation. The same criticisms do certainly apply, but many of the advanced features are worked into the application.

For example Vuex is bundled into Vue and has verbose and opinionated documentation on how it lives in your vue application.

But that is Redux and not React way. I bet for example Facebook themselves does not follow "the right way".
