It's popular argument but I don't think it's completely correct.

On the one hand principles of Redux (immutability, message-passing approach, separation model from the view) can be helpful, on the other hand huge amount of boilerplate and moving parts can only spoil scalability.

Besides Redux is very low level with very little abstraction (this is why some many abstractions over Redux appear - because Redux alone has almost none).

I think Redux has good foundations but it's poorly designed as a library targeted to average developer working on real projects. It feels more like some academic experiment, something more like proof-of-concept that library that solves real problems in elegant way.

I see your points and don't disagree. However, Redux is a fairly young concept and I think it has some potential to grow (as is React).
