Anyone using Storybook + React? How do you like it? Is it as bad as it seems at first? (sh.itjust.works)

I was pretty excited to add storybook to my project, but after setting up my basic components like buttons and moving on to higher level components that render slices of state using selectors .... I have regrets.

Is it me or is it really hard to 'storybook-i-fy' react components using selectors? I found this tutorial on the Storybook site and it looks like the preferred pattern is to duplicate your store in your storybook file? That can't be right, can it?

Someone talk me out of taking Storybook out back and uninstalling it from my repo.

Can't talk you out of it, every job that requires me to use storybook was absolute garbage. It led to code duplication, high maintenance cost, and eventually even product management agreeing to not update storybook because it slowed down development.
