Thank you for your perspective. While I have definitely been a part of teams where Redux has been grossly overused, I believe that the structure that it provides can be beneficial when working with large teams.

Your proposal to theoretically replace Redux with GraphQL queries is intriguing. However, I can see a scenario where teams OD on GQL queries just as we have seen with codebases that shove all of its data into Redux state.

The bottom line is that some thought always needs to go into the why as well as the what. We definitely do not need to wrap every component in a <Query/> tag. I am still learning GQL, so maybe Subscriptions are a godsend.

Anyway, thanks for the article as it has caused me to think more deeply about how I will build apps now to ready them for the future.
