if someone doesn't want to they don't need to write most of the Redux boilerplate, my last project a colleague wrote out all the boilerplate you normally see in a reducer - 100s of lines, and then I had to go write a new reducer of the same level of complexity and managed to write it with maybe 20 lines of Object.Assign and some values lookup.

For him he found my code harder to reason about because it was not explicit everywhere, but for me his was harder to reason about because I had to read the same thing over and over again with just different names.

But I wonder which one devtools would have handled easier, probably his.
