After spending way too much time debugging issues with frontend tooling, I am all on board for this glorious monotool future. We’ve definitely gotten some progress out of the massively micropackage approach that Webpack/Babel/etc use, but these days it really feels like we’re passing a complexity limit and we need a new approach. The fact that CRA will refuse to startup if you have another version of Babel installed anywhere in the tree, is a pretty good clue that the current approach isn’t scaling.
