Zustand for React feels awful. I don't even understand how that library ever took off.

It felt like someone wanted to be cute about JavaScript, only to end up building something that only works for them.

I feel that way too many people are praising global state (via signals or atomics) in frontend development, which I find to be rather misguided.

I mean, stuff like this makes sense for MVPs and one-off projects, but for customer-facing stuff: careful with it.
