The state management is a myth, and in someway it resembles a lot with the styling solutions in React ecosystem (css-in-js, css modules and plain css etc). I dabbled around with different solutions for a while but realized that react-query is more practical for most apps I am working with.
It does took me a while to understand why spinner waterfall was an issue, especially for people who start their programming career in the age of ajax / spa is the “default” way of building modern frontend apps. Until then I realized how big paradigm shift it is those modern web apps powered by spa frameworks comparing to traditional websites, say Rails apps. Which is exactly where those meta frameworks like next.js or remix come into play. They exist to bridge the gap or cliff driven by the need of rich interactivity of modern websites.
React reshapes modern web frontend with its declarative UI paradigm (rethinking best practice), and it embraces FP at heart. Stateless components, side effect segregation etc all good stuff. Then you encounter immutability, and got amazed by the power of it - time travel debugging. Followed by an unstoppable learning path of immutable.js, immer.js etc. At the end of day, we all realized that JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language.
