My bad, I didn't mean to include Redux then.
My commentary is more directed at React and Jest (as I try to steer away from that ecosystem, even though it's ideas aren't all bad):
- As GP indicates, React has had multiple API implementations to solve similar problems, feature bloat, leading to opinionated and differing best practices, mixed in with Junior devs can be a nightmare
- With Jest, I find the entire thing as a very aggressive wrapper and very tied to React itself, features like unit test `snapshots` are developer slack-off bait and have the benefit of further entrenching itself into the repository, arguably an e2e test would validate the same thing
