React-Starter-Kit – Open Source Universal React Redux GraphQL Boilerplate

Am I wrong in thinking that the fact that there are so many starter kits (which all contain a _lot_ of boilerplate code) indicates some sort of fundamental problem in the ecosystem?

With so much fragmentation in tooling and constant churn, it's often discouraging to start any new project.

I've been using Parcel because of its zero-config functionality, and it always amazes me how much boilerplate it actually takes care of for you behind the scenes. It's a lot.

Reminds me of the early days of the Spring Framework in Java when the entire language required sacrificing goats to get all the XML configuration, environment variables, and boilerplate code right. I checked up on the project last year and was pleasantly surprised to find Spring Boot made the process as simple as Rails.

You’re not wrong. Also using Parcel and love the fact that I can get real work done without having to worry about build tool churn and having to configure tens of plugins which are all badly documented.
