You can say it in 10 threads if you want, that’s still not true. CRA is a template using React. The team working on React can work on a React template, that doesn’t mean they’re the same thing. It doesn’t even make sense.



I've learned today the reccomended toolchain isnt part of the base react ecosystem. Thanks for the education.


This is true throughout the React universe. React itself does almost nothing useful. In order to build an app that does anything, you need routing, state management, API connections, etc. etc. Reactland is all just a grab bag of random half-maintained unofficial libraries that sort of work with each other.

Compared to Angular or Vue, it's the wild west. I don't understand why anyone puts up with it.
