My excuse for longing for something non-CRA is updating an existing frontend to React piece by piece. To integrate it with the existing Django app’s asset pipeline, I kind of had to eject and now my Webpack configuration and its dependencies are completely out of control. I am considering starting over with another tool chain, copying the existing components to the new structure. Replacing the whole thing with a new SPA would not have been feasible.
