I'm full stack so when I saw the monstrosity of the React ecosystem rear its ugly head a couple of years ago, I retreated to back-end work mostly (I'm waiting out the storm). For my side projects I currently use the Polymer framework so I don't need a bundler, a compile step or 100 pointless dependencies. The only compilation that happens is when I vulcanize the front end for production (purely as an optimization). No transpiling happens when debugging and this saves me so much time and frustratiom - I just cannot bring myself to use React or TypeScript.
