Someone in the comments of the post suggested the same thing - people who criticise React (or any framework really) of "taking too long to set up" says one of two things to me: 1: they're too picky in what they want to use generators like this (or one of a billion Yeoman templates) - which then says don't complain something takes too long to set up when you're the one adding complexity 2: they count learning new methodologies/frameworks as part of the "setup" In the case of #2, what you know is always going to be quicker than what you don't. Complaining that "it takes too long" should be rephrased to mean "I don't have the time to learn something new"
