Yes, but please, can you avoid going around saying that? My children depend on the money I earn by selling support for this. Complexity is a virtue of our industry, and by embracing it, we will all be richer and happier.
The Twitter character limit prohibits going in depth. That is the opposite of what I am looking for. Also, the lack of threading discourages having branches of discussion for the lesser important points.
There is one certain thing - they are getting something out of that and they want people to use it. I'm not sure what exactly. They either found a backdoor or a struck a deal. Things like that aren't a joke in Russia.

Chicago95 is nice, but I'd like to see a reimplementation of the old GTK2 themes, now that GTK3 seems to have gotten a stable theming interface. It could even be merged upstream, or at least be contributed to the major distro repositories.
The way I see it is Redux is a local normalized store which can then be used via the selector pattern to generate custom objects / views. With GraphQL you are requesting that derived data to be generated for you via the query language.
Regarding managing state I don't see GraphQL helping with that at all.
