I spent a lot of time trying to wrap my head around certain features of Redux. For example, all the currying used in various places (especially for middleware) makes it hard to follow what&#x27;s going on. Indeed, the author points out in the guide on middleware tongue-in-cheek, &quot;If your head boiled from reading the above section, imagine what it was like to write it.&quot; Part of my job is to figure things out and explain it to others. When I have a hard time understanding things myself, imagine how it&#x27;s going to go for explaining it to someone else.<p>On the other hand, Mobx also did take a bit of time to figure out its API, but once it was clear, it was very straight forward how to use it and explaining it to others was also painless. No need for extraneous action-creators&#x2F;reducers ceremony and no opinionated way of what kind of data I can use, or gotchas when that data is mutated.
