I think it's like that everywhere where you don't have "batteries included".

Rust or deno on the other hand, they already have most things out of the box, because the that's how they were designed.

I agree with the slow development builds of CRA, I personally use both Vite and CRA to start my React projects, I like to use cra for my personal projects because of what it comes with, I faced an issue in vite with tailwind where hot reloading sometimes just stopped and I had to restart the server again, with CRA i never faced the problem again.

I don't have experience with vite yet but do with vue and it constantly breaks on minor updates to the point where I suggest using --frozen-lockfile or ci on a public demo app (that is no no longer maintained). Maybe vite doesn't suffer from this but my experience trying to refactor and maintain a project for 3 years (luckily no more) does not give me confidence if/when I use it for something that needs to be maintained for a long time and just rewrite the whole thing isn't an option.

When the version (currentVersion +1) and then (currentVersion +2) versions of these tools come out, will they be backward-compible or will they have breaking changes so that you will have to spend the year to fix existing code only to preserve existing functionality?

I'm supposedly an advanced user and still find somethings confusing. Vite isn't like a webpack replacement? So can't we use Vite + Next.js?

I guess all of these 7 options are for something either heavy or customer side based applications. We have CRA for back office application which will be used by like 20 people internally. I absolutely see 0 problems with such approach. Everything works perfectly fine. My personal pet peeve is React itself and its lack of 2 way binding, which results in more boilerplate code. But for internal apps SSR and SSG are completely irrelevant.

I guess Vite is the best choise to scaffold any js/ts app atm.
