Redux seems to be very polarizing about whether it increases or reduces complexity. As a back-end weenie who finds virtually everything about the front end confusing, I found Redux to be a breath of fresh air. Finally something straightforward that made sense and where the complexity of the code never seemed to exceed the complexity of the problem it was solving. But I was working with people who could run rings around me in the big React codebase we were working on who said Redux was a total mindfuck for them and they would never use it again if they had a choice.
