No, not really. Redux itself _is_ already small - if you strip out the safety checks, it's less than 100 lines [0], and you can see the core concept in less than 25 [1].

Part of the issue is that people use the word "boilerplate" to refer to many different things, such as writing action creator functions, writing immutable update logic, calling `connect()` to generate wrapper components that talk to the Redux store, etc. Everyone seems to have a different thing that they are concerned about.

The "starter kit" package I linked tries to address several of the most common concerns, while still keeping Redux the way it's meant to be used.
