I have been on the fence for using Redux in a large-scale project and I am still not convinced about its usefulness. I feel its too much code for too little gain. You have listed it as one of the tools you have used in org-web. Does it add value?

The short answer is yes it added value, but I wouldn't use it if I started on org-web today. Largely this is because of the new hooks API in React (particularly useReducer).

Redux also helped me grow a lot as an engineer. I'm sure the concepts that it builds on aren't new, but they were new to me when I first started using Redux and I now spend a lot of time thinking the way Redux taught (or forced) me to think.

Thanks. That helps. Looks like you can build a middleware using hooks alone. I found a good video from a React guru: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUzLlHFVXx0. He builds a few Redux concepts in the video.
