Eh, it really is not that bad. With just React and a fetch polyfil (to replace jquery's ajax) you can get pretty much the same power as with just jquery.

This will all settle down in a year or two, once we get the most basic features built-in into browsers. Like for example modules + HTTP2 will probably mean no more bundlers or build tools (which is where the vast majority of this craziness is coming from)

Made the switch to HTTP/2. Using push with minified/gzipped/cached assets. Loading all my assets is typically a 6ms affair for all of react, react-dom, redux, custom JS, custom CSS, and additional PWA files. Mind you, dev machine.
