Thanks for the feedback! As noted in my blog post, these types of tradeoffs were consciously made to simplify other aspects React state management. If, for example, sub-stores and/or parallel stores are important, Launch.IO might not be a good choice.

I don't see this as a large tradeoff. Taking from your example and modifying to follow good practices:

    const launch = initializeLaunch(/* ... */);
    
    const App = () => {
      // ...
    
      return (
        <LaunchProvider launch={launch}>
          <div>...</div>
        </LaunchProvider>
      );
    };

I recommend a nice pair of summer hiking pants. Specifically, look at Outdoor Research Ferrosi Pants.

This one did it for me:
