> You don't need to know all the toolchains and crap if you just use create-react-app.

I love the hand wavyness of this! Yes, you DO need to know the toolchain. Because if you don't, it is going to be murder on you if you need to track down why something isn't working.

Professional developers need to use professional tools and understand them deeply. There's no compromises here.

While I agree you need to know the toolchain, create-react-app is a professional tool, it works very well. I've struggled before configuring webpack/babel/etc. manually and while it may "murder" me down the road one can always eject if need be.
