i feel so validated in that when someone first pointed me to "create-react-app" (several someones actually) like it's a normal way to do frontend dev in the year 201X/202Y i ran it, concluded the output was dogshit, got into a minor fight over it and then never touched it again
turns out it is in fact dogshit, professionals agree!
i was porting a c++ app to the web and the node_modules folder alone had more files and more bytes than the entire c++ part. by more than an order of magnitude, if i recall
i'm not a javascript hater (i think modern JS and TS are pretty good all things considered!) and i'm not even a react hater (i maintain two react apps! not apps-pretending-to-be-websites, actual applications); i am however definitely a create-react-app hater. i cannot imagine why you would actually want this abomination
