What do you suggest developers use instead of Redux?

I wonder why people need Redux, Using simply React is great and enough if you understand it well

That's all correct, but in common usage 'Redux' almost always means 'React-Redux', i.e. the integration of Redux into a React app. And given the OP, that should be clear in the context of my comment. And since we are talking about React-Redux, it is correct to say it is complex–as can plainly be seen in the OP.

What is it about Redux that you need?

I can't believe people use redux in any capacity but here we are.

No. Redux is an antipattern. Don't get me wrong it's an amazing tool for managing complex, changing global state. It's just that complex, changing global state doesn't belong in a react app. You can get all the certainty benefits of using redux by just learning to organize and abstract your stateful behavior properly.

What do people use instead of Redux these days?

here is some advice: don't use redux or any sort of state library, just use a normal state object, it only clutters your code.
