MobX State Tree advocate here. We have a VERY complex state that needs to be synced with the server and persisted locally and nothing fulfilled our needs like MST.

Mobx itself is insufficient? What does mobx-state-tree provide that mobx does not? The README doesn't convey anything meaningful.

Well, you know how MobX itself is very unopinionated? MST is very structured and opinionated. It's also immutable which means you get snapshots of every mutation to the tree which is very useful in almost all cases.

Mobx itself is fine for most usecases I think. I've used it on 4-5 projects now and it's been working very well in each.
