Obligatory link: Dan Abramov's article on "You Might Not Need Redux", discussing the tradeoffs involved in Redux: https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/you-might-not-need-redux-be4... .

Also, Dan has pointed out that the Redux docs were written in a deliberately verbose style to illustrate what's going on, and people sorta followed that. There's plenty of ways to reduce the boilerplate, and you're welcome to do that as much as you want.
