Two way binding is hard in react?  I never noticed.  My only react app so far is basically a giant form (I split it into 5 tabs based on categories so there wasn&#x27;t too much on the page at a time), and I had zero problem doing so.<p>Granted the analysis paralysis wasn&#x27;t so bad as react was much newer when I started, so I didn&#x27;t even look at redux (though looking at it now, I&#x27;m still not sure what problem I was supposed to have that it solves).<p>As far as packing everything into a single file, I used make which would pipe cat through a minifier (or not minified with &quot;make debug&quot;).<p>So ironically, I suppose all these new tools have made it harder to get started on React, which is perhaps the point of the article.
