React devs. 👨‍💻 Does useReducer have a place in modern React apps, or has Redux become the more practical choice for most use cases?

Given redux pre-dates functional components and hooks, this seems a bit backwards. I think most apps don’t need redux or similar. Tanstack Query and some contexts for specific bits of shared local state is often enough. Sometimes you want redux or one of the newer alternatives.

Personally I really don’t like the RTK API - I find it not very readable. Plain redux is heavy on boilerplate, so I’d generally choose something other than redux in a new project. I don’t hate it enough to rip it out of existing projects though.
