To try and fix MobX-State-Tree, MobX Keystone was created, but it's also complex, and crashes with bad error messages that don't explain the problem, or don't say where the problem is.

Async Redux also seems very easy at first, but continues being easy when the inevitable complexities of web and mobile development arise. It plays well with TypeScript, and preserves IDE navigation.
