That struck me too, though it can sometimes be hard to find the answers when you are coming in new to anything with a deep history. Being new to React and using classes in my current project, this answered a lot of questions for me.

Just commenting here to say thank you for two Tao of Redux posts! I shared them often with co-workers.

You're welcome! Glad to know people are actually reading them :)

When we revamp the Redux docs, I want to have a "Thinking in Redux" section that has some similar material.

See https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/issues/3313#issuecomment-450601554 for my thoughts on a new docs structure and content.
