It’s seemingly unpopular among the React team

Not really. I think we agree with this. However we also believe that you can’t deliver a whole solution if you don’t actively use it. A model that seems to work is promoting full-box setups like Next.js and Gatsby and working closely with them.

> A model that seems to work is promoting full-box setups like Next.js and Gatsby and working closely with them. I don't really see that as any different from React having no opinion, which you seem to disagree with.

I think saying “you should often/usually use this thing” counts as an opinion?

It's a deference of opinion, which I guess is an opinion.

We intend to work more closely with communities of these solutions over time btw. So it’s not just deference. I agree current situation is far from ideal.

I'm not blaming React at all. I feel like React Native do something similar with Expo and the other more frameworky RN solutions. I think there's cons on all sides of "no opinion", "strong opinion", and "deferred opinion" so have zero actionable recommendations haha
