> last trivia question- I was considering using Reflux, but I saw an article saying reflux is dying. I've heard facebook is especially brutal with changes.

Not dying, just shrinking usage area. The community feels that it got overused. Kinda like you don't buy an Oracle license to make a todo app. So there's some backlash in the blogs. Upcoming versions of React include better/expanded global state management (the context API). Some of what people use Redux for now will be better served by that API.

Redux also doesn't tie in with any specific database or backend. As other vertically integrated solutions take shape, that will also cut into Redux's usage. At facebook, this would be Relay, a GraphQL library. A lot of people are excited about using a query language to talk to the server. It makes versioning and supporting multiple generic apps/features much simpler. Writing specific web service APIs locks you in if you need to support old client versions, etc. You end up with fetchUserInfo(), fetchUserInfo2(), fetchUserInfo3(), etc to avoid breaking clients. Ugh.
