Okay, I'm just saying this isn't the conversation I signed up for. I've heard people scream about react and tool chains and how much they hate js pretty much nonstop since I've been a user of this site. I am not interested. If I thought it would go this way, I wouldn't have engaged you.
Haha, I hope you don't feel attacked; apologies if it comes across that way. I am right with you on that treadmill and really appreciate the discussion and counter-perspective to help me think through my own. If anything, this interaction has helped me clear some fog around our stack so I appreciate that you were willing to engage in a discussion.
