That extraneous tooling killed React for me. React itself is simple and easy, I agree with that. But getting things wired up so that you can develop a real application? I think I lost a good day or two on it. Even after I was set up, honestly there were a lot of tweaks left such that I didn't really get to where I wanted to be. Also I can't really see where things might break down in between. It's enough to be frustrated with the code itself, let alone getting bogged down in a long, incomprehensible path along the build pipeline.
