I'm a JS and React _expert_, and I still use CRA all the time whenever I want to spin up a new project because I don't want to take the time to mess with all the build setup. I just want something that works right.

Same here. Debugging build issues might be one of the most frustrating and boring parts of development, especially because 99% of apps need basically the same setup. CRA gets a new app with good defaults up and running in like thirty seconds. And there’s no magic — if you outgrow it you can always eject.

I said "it's possible I might choose your approach", meaning the option is open to me - CRA defaults or completely custom. You have the option to go either way. Whereas a noob should just use CRA.

Right, I was just trying to clarify that even as a non-newbie, CRA has benefits and is my tool of choice.
