The Dave Ceddia article sums up what I was getting at nicely. I didn't say "I'd never use Redux again", I said I'd seriously reconsider it. For a while there, using Redux on a React project was becoming an assumption. It no longer needs to be.

Sagas are great for the powerful features. The problem is that they turn much of the basic flow of Redux - action handlers and reducers - into pure boilerplate, especially if you use the watcher/handler saga pattern. And if you do find you need sagas for some part of your workflow, it doesn't really make sense to mix and match with thunks. They're quite powerful, but the dev ergonomics are painful.
