Personally, I love working on features and building apps more than I like dealing with the esoteric and always changing ins and outs of java/typescript build systems. CRA solves that problem for me, without creating a lot of cruft in my folder.
That certainly does not excuse me from learning how to use craco to define babel plugins to make sure my material-ui imports are optimized [1], but it does end up saving me a lot of time that I'd rather spend elsewhere.
I've also found that CRA produces smaller apps than even Parcel 1... which apparently is fixed in Parcel 2, but I have yet to try it as it is still in development 3 months after I finished my last project. ;-)
