Very much appreciate boilerplate tools, they often come with sane defaults and avoid configuration hell when you just want to get started. I just wish there was some easy way to version them, so you can migrate from an older boilerplate to a new one.

I quite like how React Native does it. They have git diffs of a created project for each released version. So if you want to migrate from version A to B you just see the diff and apply those changes yourself.

Not ideal but it really helps when you want a good mix of configurability while avoiding incompatible divergence.

I’d recommend just trying to set up a webpack 5 build from scratch: I’ve done it twice recently, and it’s been a pleasant surprise how much easier it was than it was four years ago.

Also, parcel Just Works for a lot of problems.
