I'm so excited about this . It's a testament to how well-built-up modern frontend tooling is, especially around React. The things that used to take hundreds or even thousands of lines of config can now be done in a few dozen at most with managed libraries. And better!

Unfortunately too much JS has made the web slower, check this https://www.speedcurve.com/blog/web-performance-page-bloat/ for a quick view or infrequently.org for longer explanations. React starts to be dated now and there are leaner alternatives offering most of the functional advantages, like Svelte or Lit.

The tooling evolves indeed and I hope it gets again nearer to the browsers, thanks to web components, better CSS (hello variables), WASM and much more.
