Call it overhyped or whatever, it is a nice pattern ('ve never used Redux but still use the pattern) for separating the data from the actual presentation logic. This provides great convenience when debugging and is a great solution to the mobile lifecycle problem.
If your article was just about saying "it isn't a silver bullet", I don't think anyone with any experience actually working with it would think it's a great idea for simple applications.

The author submitted this on Reddit a couple days ago to /r/javascript, then deleted the submission after a very negative reception. That discussion is at https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/5a4irf/redux_is... . Looks like this is a second try in a different venue, I guess.
There's actually a bit of truth to the article title (Dan Abramov himself has said as much many times), but the article itself is rather short and kind of incoherent.
