Earlier quoted context omitted.
For what it's worth, "Practical Redux" is my blog series that demonstrates Redux techniques by building a sample app. "Idiomatic Redux" is my series for my own thoughts on why I think certain Redux usage patterns are good or bad. The phrase "Tao of Redux" was just something that popped into my head and sounded catchy, and seemed to go along with the idea of "explaining the Redux philosophy".
It sounds like the author is some kind of guru who became enlightened and willing to share the "tao" of "idiomatic" way of JS library. Can't you see how pretentious it it?
The original point of writing it is that I see many people complaining about things like "having to use action creators" and "having to edit many files", when Redux itself doesn't actually require you to do those things.
So yes, I guess you could say that I _am_ trying to enlighten people, because many of the complaints about Redux are being made out of an incomplete understanding of why it exists and what its intended use is. If people still don't like Redux after that, that's fine - I just want people to better understand why Redux usage patterns exist and clear up the misunderstandings.
