Nah, I think the trend of the commentary was just that the tooling is hard to learn how to set up. I think it is probably worth setting up and learning the tooling if frontend work is a non trivial part of your life. But as someone who just wants to put a toe in and feel productive it can be rough to find easy to use front end frameworks.
