Yeah I get your point on this. Vuex has much more of an out-of-the-box vibe when it comes to state management, which is cool. But I also think there's space in a devs brain for a lot of things and I also like understanding what's going on under the hood rather than having everything handed to me on a plate. It depends what the thing is, I feel like knowing redux is useful to me as I would like there to be more pattern-based programming in JS, rather than just library leverage.
