Hiya. As mentioned in my other comment, I decided to write up a blog post about all the different potential metrics you can use to estimate package market share, flaws with those metrics, and how I use them to guesstimate React state management lib market share (Redux et al):

https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2022/07/npm-package-market...

The biggest takeaway here is that based on these numbers, I'm actually going to have to revise my "45-50%" estimate that I've been throwing around for the last couple years down to about "33%". React downloads have continued to go through the roof, and they've finally separated more of a gap from React-Redux downloads. There's also a surprisingly large differential in terms of Github "dependent repo" numbers.

That said, Redux is most definitely still the most widely used state management lib by a mile.

My main guesses for the changes are that more folks _are_ just using React state and no separate state library, and possibly some influence from number of learner repos.
