Coming from Clojurescript and using libraries like Re-Frame it feels much more natural to me to have a central store for most state. Sure I also use component state but I leave that for very simple cases. It seems like Context could also provide something like this but I'm not sure how it handles re-renders. If one part of my Context state is modified, do all Consumers re-render? Or just the ones that would be affected?

All of them. I’d say that’s the biggest problem recoil is addressing.

I've been working with React since 2014 and I've never had a good experience with an app that relied entirely on component state. To each their own, perhaps you've discovered something I haven't.

For me, Redux works very well with how I think about control flow. That said, my brain has been ruined by a youth misspent in fp land, so my preferences should be taken with a liberal application of salt.
