Is it? I find most of the "winning" tech deeply unproductive. Have you tried developing in a project with Webpack and Redux? It's kind of its own little hell. Everything is way too slow and complicated. Tasks that should take 20 minutes take 3 hours.

“Winning tech” may be less productive for a one-off single person project.
But “losing tech” is unproductive when you have to maintain/upgrade your code over many years and onboard new developers into the team.
It is unfortunate that the tech industry’s choice of tools is largely fashion-driven but that is the reality.
The problem is, the entirety of the javascript ecosystem is built for large teams doing multi-year enterprise projects, and so unless you're launching a social media startup or something, you have to wade through a swamp of unnecessary complexity.
Try again with Vite and useReducer and prepare to have your socks blown off.
