Me too. I don't use create-react-app or anything else to set up my Node.js/React/TypeScript/SWC projects. I install each package I need manually, and configure each item precisely how I want it (tsconfig.json, webpack.config.ts, .swcrc, even .eslintrc.json). Makes for a nice, lean project every time.

The benefits of frameworks is that there's shared knowledge on how to use it, lots of documentation and they are more battle proven. There's a reason people are not writing assembler. Reinventing the wheel every single time has its trade offs too.
