Personally, I do small side project, and every time I want to do something new, the ratio time spent to setup vs time spent to actual code is 80:20.

Typically I just need react + router + bootstrap, and if I can choose, I prefer gulp. The whole ecosystem evolves too quickly, so every 2-3 months I need a fresh boilerplate.

This said, most of the changes I to from boilerplate to app are pretty much confined, and it's not hard to update the boilerplate below... problem is that often time people release a boilerplate, then abandon the project.

We're definitely not abandoning this boilerplate, ever. There's a core team of a good dozen people that are committed to maintaining it, including myself.

Even if I don't want to do it anymore, there's a good 20 people that know the project just as well as I do, if not better!
