Hot take: tools with built-in support for Babel or TypeScript are bad for the ecosystem. They stifle competition, and make it significantly harder for a new compiler to get adoption. It also harms Babel/TS by having another tool locked to their major making it harder to iterate.

That’s the trade-off. What do we think the ecosystem lacks the most? Good competition or sensible defaults? I would say there’s a huge competition in JS ecosystem and very little sensible defaults (if you compare it with other ecosystems)

Both. I think current tools are inadequate and lack good configuration.

Totally! But for me, it's really about avoiding duplicate work. I don't want to bother with upgrading Babel if other people have already defined clear steps and executed them. I'm happy to just bump react-scripts instead.
