My biggest issue with RxJS is that it is so easy, that you can easily make pretty bad bugs. In particular, you can have a `mergeMap` or a `switchMap`, and with RxJS they are very similar in API. But if you pick the wrong one, it can lead to weird bugs in your application. However, if you would manually program promises and maybe debounce helpers, you would be more likely to program the correct behavior.

Still, the easiness RxJS is pretty cool, and if you are an expert at it, you could build complicated applications with very little code. Also Marble Testing is a cool way of testing certain application behaviors.

Overall, I would recommend searching decent alternatives. Since RxJS is too hard to get right.

Haha, after all this time I still don’t find RxJS easy unless I’m using it for a common, familiar pattern. I agree otherwise, though. It’s definitely easy to create weird bugs.

well, I meant easy compared to alternative ways of dealing with (async) events.
