You are absolutely right! The quantity of white noise is so much that at some point of time, you'll end up thinking that it would have been much easier had I started this project from scratch instead of inheriting this monstrous code!

You use CLI generators for hand-holding, so that you don't have to write lots of code but this works in only the basic hello world kind of projects. As your project gets larger, this same hand-holding gets in your way as you have to understand, twist and tweak someone else's code unnecessarily.

What white noise? None of the configuration files are exposed unless you eject.

I also disagree with your assertion that this only works for basic “hello world” type projects. I’ve yet to work on a project that’s been hampered by CRA’s limitations; I’d reckon it’s sufficient for at least 90% of React apps.

I think you have in mind something that's very different from create-react-app.
