lol and that's why we saw the emergence of rollup and parcel and snowpack and whatever the hell else came along since then?
- nawgz 4y agoI’ve never seen a situation where someone hasn’t tried to rebuild something that’s already working (in a big community like JS land). Some people wanted more performance from their build systems, some people like other languages to do the transpilation, some people thought the configuration options were too heavy and opaque. That’s why we saw ESBuild and rollup. But CRA is still on webpack, and CRA is still the de facto default way to make a new react app. I don’t really see the fact that alternatives exist as implying churn when the same option has been the longest living and most popular.
