I think I see a slight problem here. Should we not consider the fact that we, seemingly, need all of this to start a project?
I feel that simplicity, and ease of use should rain supreme over features. The fact that this takes such a huge amount of other files to setup worries me.
Am I the only one with this concern?
- morgante 11y agoYou absolutely don't need all of this to start a project. It's perfectly possible to start using React without any sort of build tools, boilerplate, or additions. It's just that these additions are things you end up wanting once a project grows, so you might as well start with them.
- mxstbr 11y agoI'd like to add to morgante's excellent comment: You don't need any of these things, but they make it so much nicer and easier to write an application. You can easily write a React app without them, but it's less fun and it takes more time. The point of the boilerplate is to let you focus on writing your application, and let the boilerplate take care of making that experience a very nice one.
