React has been around for 11 years. The amount of stuff that's online that tells you to do something with it one way when the react devs tell you to do it another is _astonishing_. And that's just from the last few years.

Or take webpack that's been around for 13 years. The way things are set up even within the last few years have changed dramatically.

If Apache configs moved as much as these systems did, no one would use Apache.

No one is using Apache... Almost everyone moved to Nginx years ago xD

The configs are very similar though, the reasons for the move were technical and performance, for whatever that’s worth.

imo, the Webpack situation is worse. React's evolution has been more incremental/cumulative. Best practices evolve, but not too much truly needs to be forgotten.
