@DavidKPiano @acemarke @modernserf I’ve tried to be more precise with my wording here—does this help? I didn’t see my tweet as a criticism but maybe I have misread the room.

@DavidKPiano @acemarke @modernserf My point is that, I don’t agree with the premise of rejecting tools based on them being complex inside. Requirements of modern client apps are complex! So that complexity has to live somewhere. I know doesn’t live inside Redux because I literally wrote it. I can’t say this?
@DavidKPiano @acemarke @modernserf This complexity could live in application code, it could live in a meta-library on top of Redux, or somewhere else. I just definitely know that it’s not in those 100 lines of code. And that’s okay. It’s not a criticism. It is a direct reflection of what Redux is (and isn’t).
@DavidKPiano @acemarke @modernserf The maxim I am rejecting is, “to make our apps simple, we need to reject complex tools.” It doesn’t make sense to me. Even with Redux, the intention was that the meta layering on top of it would absorb the complexity. This is what I tried to express in that tweet—perhaps, poorly!
