I feel this way about Node and React sometimes but I'm not sure other environments are necessarily better. In a way the fact that you can do all this in a bunch of text files is pretty elegant. Is installing and configuring Apache and PHP with a bunch of modules that much easier, or does it only appear easier because of apt-get, a2enmod, etc.?
- sotojuan 10y agoI'm interested about why you mentioned Node—aside from the occasional silliness of npm I find it easy and quick with minimal to no boilerplate.
- firasd 10y agoWhat people refer to as boilerplate for setting up React, including in this article, is about installing and configuring node modules, build systems and other tools. React itself is just two modules (React, React-DOM.)
- sotojuan 10y agoGot it. Thought you meant just Node. Thanks for clearing it up.
