I agree in some contexts. Kind of like Rust, I see a place for more durable code that's harder to reason about in some cases.

I wouldn't use Effect for a lot of things. For some things, I'm very glad to have it. One thing Effect has going for it that Ramda didn't is that it's much less abstract and it's quite a bit more opinionated about some more complex concepts like error handling, concurrency, or scheduling.

Kind of like state machines. You shouldn't use them for everything. For some things, it's a bad idea not to (in my opinion).

Then of course subjectivity is a factor here. Some people will never like conventions like Effect, and that's fine too. Just write what feels right.
