It's really amazing to see Redux, and then go and use the Elm architecture.

The Elm architecture is so simple you could write the API on a business card, and it fundamentally does the same thing, and solves the same problem. There's almost no accidental complexity, only essential complexity.

Redux on the other hand feels like there's so much accidental complexity, but it's not even obvious, it's masquerading as essential complexity.

It feels like an emperor with no clothes situation. Redux is obviously terrible but the community has adopted it none the less.
