Personally, I love redux-saga. It took me a little while to wrap my head around it (but 1/10th the amount of time as RxJS), but it is _really_ nice to be able to write complex async logic in synchronous-looking code that's also readable. (At least it was readable for me and the people on my team.) Whenever I had some weird async coordination problem that I needed to solve, I was _always_ able to solve it with redux-saga. I wish more people would use it.

I feel the same way which is why I decided to help maintain the project. Async flow control is very tricky even in js–land. Having watchers live inside of a while-loop is a powerful construct that lends itself to interest flow control patterns.

I'm also in the process of rebuilding redux-saga but without the redux part: https://github.com/neurosnap/starfx

It's still in alpha stage, but it is very reminiscent of redux-saga.
