The company I'm currently working with is the first time I've used sagas / observables / "anything async is through side effects". I've constantly been saying "this is madness, this giant block of code, all these concepts, all this room for things to go wrong, just to do a `fetch`?". It's also the first time in a few years of using redux I've had to deal with race conditions.

Edit: Oh, and you can even `await dispatch`! All the things I've been doing in Redux for years and told I shouldn't, now being officially endorsed.
