I sure as heck don't disagree, but does this apply to e.g. create-react-app as well? Realistically, most people don't want to fiddle with the toolchain, especially if what they're trying to achieve has already been done, making repeating that task a total distraction.

Deleted my original reply because it was confusing. If the reason for using a particular compiler is about having sensible defaults or to abstract things away then it seems fine. The breaker though is when config is exposed since then it becomes bound to that implementation.

I wish so badly I could publish a plain old javascript module and apps could build it however they want.
