> easy-to-reason-about redux-style state reducers

This buzz phrase "easy to reason about" is so popular in the React world. I feel like I'm the only one who finds it oxymoronic. Especially with regard to Redux, which I think is anything but.

Angular 1/2, Ember, Backbone are all pretty "easy to reason about", so much so that it is rarely pointed out.

What do you find hard to reason about when it comes to Redux? There is some terminology, but the heart of Redux is a pure function that takes a state, new information, and returns a new state. That's hardly rocket science.

You are definitely not the only one who has not found Redux "easy to reason about". I think the concepts are somewhat straightforward, but in practice are a little harder to grasp, especially in real world applications.
