That depends entirely on your definition of “magic”. Needing a specific incantation of seven different plugins and rules, that are often conflicting and incomprehensible, to get a basic project to build, is the same as magic to me.

I assume you mean magic == conventions or implicit behavior. I’ll take that over the Webpack mess any day.

Magic as in runtime hacks and precompiled semi-proprietary rust binaries.

Neither of which are necessarily negatives of course!

Only thing is that for every minute gained from those speedy rust builds, I lost five more on debugging stuff that used to work fine with Babel + having to learn this new language to write replacements for now unsupported plugins :)
