>Seems like it could create a lot more code with less re-usage, since every widget has to manage this themselves.

It might create a bit more code in components, agree. I think this is a fair price for the all benefits it brings.

That said, the total amount of code might be even less (no action-creators, reducers, etc.).

Also declarative nature of the libraries makes the added code very easy to follow.

The key thing to realise with widgets is that while the widget code is indeed complex, it’s reusable and generally you’re not writing it.
