One thing that is interesting is that this was anticipated by the OpenAI Codex paper (which led to GitHub Copilot) all the way back in 2021:

> Users might be more inclined to accept the Codex answer under the assumption that the package it suggests is the one with which Codex will be more helpful. As a result, certain players might become more entrenched in the package market and Codex might not be aware of new packages developed after the training data was originally gathered. Further, for already existing packages, the model may make suggestions for deprecated methods. This could increase open-source developers’ incentive to maintain backward compatibility, which could pose challenges given that open-source projects are often under-resourced (Eghbal, 2020; Trinkenreich et al., 2021).

ChatGPT and Gemini default to create-react-app, which has been considered poor practice for 2 years at least.

What's considered better practice? NextJS?!

[TheRealPomax]

Literally yes? https://react.dev/learn/creating-a-react-app lists several options because different people will click with different solutions. Or find one of the many other ones yourself of course, they're not hard to find, but cutting your teeth on an official recommendation before moving on to greener pastures is always a good idea.

The first one is always to learn from and then throw away.

Sure, or something like create-vite. Dealers choice.

It's also officially dead now (finally, lol).
