He’s exaggerating. You can download a cli tool that lets you create a react or vue web app with Babel, webpack, hot code loading, etc in one command. It just works. I know because I just did it and built a large app from it . I think I added 3 lines to my webpack config to proxy api calls to me real web server. It’s magical to code on the fly and I think people have a short memory or aren’t old enough to remember hand coding make files and waiting 20 minutes for your app to compile and link. Frameworks like vue.js are elegant as all hell and js has the lowest getting shit done to ceremony ratio of any language I’ve ever used. Sure there’s a few gotchas. Try using c++. Now there’s a minefield.
