This might be the best summary of how I feel about web development that I've read in a fair while.

And this is why I like Parcel. It's by no means perfect but having pretty much zero config and still being able to jump into using pretty much whether system you want with a simple command is nice.

Frankly I thought jQuery was a horrific way of building stuff, and moving to a declarative approach like React is a huge step forward. Most complaints I've seen about it are due to incompetence or misunderstanding.
