Exact same experience here. We were using Redux to manage server-side data and switching to React Query massively simplified everything. It appears that managing server-side data in an efficient way is an insanely complicated topic and React Query just solved everything about it that I can think of.

Yeah, both the React Query and Redux maintainers agree that you shouldn't be writing data fetching and caching logic yourself. That's why we recently added a new "RTK Query" data fetching and caching API to Redux Toolkit, so that if you're using Redux it handles that work for you:

- https://redux-toolkit.js.org/rtk-query/overview

and if you're just using React, definitely look at React Query.

Yes we chose Redux 6 years ago for data fetching and caching when there wasn't as many alternatives as today!

Hah, yeah, the ecosystem landscape has definitely changed over the last few years :)

RTKQ is terrific. Between things like that and MUI, the level of productivity you can achieve really is amazing.

Also, thanks for your work -- really, really appreciate it.
