I'll say Redux. It's been a while since I used it, and I like the high level concepts, but the amount of verbosity and boilerplate always makes me anxious.

And the amount of hassle to write 'immutable' code, which can however probably be avoided by pulling in a 3rd party library.

same. If you have typescript then it just so much bloat that you just go crazy. :)

I've never used React/Redux, but Vuex is pretty nice. Especially if you use Vuex modules (which e.g. Quasar does by default). Plus Vue.js uses pure JS/ES6 (or Typescript, if you're into that sort of thing), as opposed to JSX.

I never got the appeal of React, tbh.

Also, I rally need to check out xstate - a JS state machine (library?|framework?).
