I think it's the right move for people new to React. A lot of those features in other boilerplates aren't really necessary for building out a simple app. Furthermore, the Eject feature (https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app#converting-to-a-custom-setup https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app#conver...) allows someone to move from the default configuration to their own when they feel comfortable.
