&gt; But have you actually been following this stuff very closely?<p>I have, but I&#x27;m trying to spin my comments from the perspective of the average developer. People who are passively keeping tabs on what this whole &quot;React&quot; thing is about are probably feeling a little uneasy about all the churn. I agree that Redux has emerged as the clear solution for data management, and I&#x27;m a huge fan. But I don&#x27;t use it with React. I&#x27;m keeping my distance from that ecosystem while the dust settles and waiting to see what kind of splash Angular 2 makes.<p>&gt; Relay&#x2F;Falcor are really part of an entirely different thing than React; they are about replacing the traditional REST API with an entirely new paradigm.<p>But what app doesn&#x27;t use a traditional REST API? Why <i>wouldn&#x27;t</i> people want to use the latest hotness to come out of Facebook™ or Netflix™? It&#x27;s this kind of uncertainty that keeps people off balance.
