I really get sick and tired of the "React isn't a framework" excuse.  You really don't need much extra, redux a couple plugins and a UI toolkit, if you want one.  A thin wrapper around fetch-api for remote calls.  It's just laziness.

You don’t even need redux in _every_ project. See https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/you-might-not-need-redux-be46360cf367

Very true, but in any project where you are looking for a "framework" to guide you, redux is often one of the better somewhat prescriptive fits.  I find redux + redux-thunks + redux-first-router to be a great combination.  Using thunks with async functions feels very natural/simple to me.

I find a lot of the extras in angular 2+ to be very convoluted.. and regarding Vue.js, it's hard for me to see that actually scale well.

Agreed. I mostly keep the state in some container components and only use redux if it's really needed. That approach works just fine.
