I started using React properly a year ago and I was dreading having to tinker with scripts for 72 hours.

The developer experience I got from create-react-app was astounding - it gave me the most productive frontend experience (live reloading, preconfigured Babel) I've ever had.

These days I turn to React for quick throwaway projects because I know create-react-app will have me up and running straight away.
