You're missing out the bug picture. All my projects started small. But day after day, you need a be feature and a new thing. It will grow. At that point you need to add these tools yourself, manually.

I rather have a standard baseline to be up to speed and don't get bothered with this on each app.

Is this a Freudian slip? The amount of bugs in "modern web apps" seems rather huge indeed.

To me, the baseline for any kind of website or web app is, you know, HTML. When authoring static HTML or rendering it dynamically on the server, I'm up to speed instantly.
