A lot of database tools these days prioritize instant sharing of updates over transactions and ACID properties. Example: Airtable. As soon as you update a field the update shows up on your coworkers screen who also has the same table open. The downside of this is that Airtable doesn't do transactions. And the downside of not doing transactions is potentially dangerous data inconsistencies. More about that here: https://visualdb.com/blog/concurrencycontrol/

Ever heard of Django? ASP.NET? Most UI frameworks, including ASP.NET Core, Spring Boot (Java based framework), Ruby on Rails, and Django (Python) are all based on MVC.

Here's a better list:

- Being under the public eye—all the time—is one of the top reasons to not be famous. Famous people must constantly self-monitor what they say and do because casual mistakes can trigger disproportionate backlash or headlines.

- You lose the ability to have genuine, equal interactions—people treat you differently, with deference or expectation, rather than as a peer.

- Privacy disappears as curious strangers can easily discover where you live, details about your family, and how much wealth you have—information you'd normally share only with people you trust.

- Strangers form opinions about you before ever meeting you, based on whatever fragments of your public persona they've encountered.

- A public persona can become a cage, limiting your freedom to change, experiment, or reinvent yourself.

I don't see the need for either Redux or MobX. React is the V in MVC. Use an MVC framework with React, and everything get simple, easy and productive. There are MVC frameworks that work well with React. Redux is unnecessary complexity and the need for it came about because of ReactRouter. If you use an MVC router you can avoid a whole bunch of complexity.

BTW, using MVC doesn't imply two-way data binding.
