Hi ! Thanks for this great article. It's cool to see someone bringing pure Rx to a React app :)

In terms of complexity do you prefer Rx over Redux ? Rx comes with data streams and operators. Operators are enough complex to justify this website rxmarbles.com/.
I'm not a Redux fan but I've to admit that for a newcomer to web (or React) ecosystem, Redux is one of the best way to learn how to solve stores & data problems !

Hi! Thanks for reading my article and sorry for the delay.

Yes, in my opinion I do prefer Rx over Redux, but I don't pretend to be radical. This article is just to show a different way to develop React apps. What I like from RxJS it that you could use operators as complex as you need it or as simple as you want.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that Redux is a good way to start (I was a newcomer when I used it too) and it helped me a lot to solve state problems as you said. I do prefer use Redux instead a React App without any tool to manage the app state.
