Really? GraphQL? You don't need that.

You don't even need React, there a ton of excellent frameworks based on the same React ideas (virtual dom, a single state, render everything from top to bottom) out there, and they don't come with all these fancy arrogant stuff (Webpack, Redux, Babel, ignore these).

React doesn't come with those things either. React is just a view layer. If its confusing (to anyone) -- just use Facebook's getting started example and start building stuff. It'll all come together.

I know, but the React community almost forces you to use all these, if you're following any tutorial or guide, or even just asking help on some specific issue.

Arrogant?
