I've built a multitude of websites/applications in my lifetime spanning many different programming languages, build systems, tools, etc. From PHP, to python, to golang, to java, and JS. It seems painfully obvious to me that the people complaining about this setup/build system do not fully grasp the power and beauty of the JS ecosystem, more specifically react, redux, time traveling, and hot module reloading. It is without competition, the best development experience I have ever had been apart of. There is no lag time between when I make a change in JS or CSS to when those changes get applied to the application. There's no compiling (even tho there is a compile step), no refreshing the page, no stepping through all your previous steps to get to that part of the application, your changes are patched in real time and available to you automatically.
I guess the saying is true, that haters are going to hate, but there really is no competition in terms of development experience once you grok the ecosystem.
