> The only thing that still sucks is UI frameworks, because all major frameworks still require a shitty babel workflow in one form or the other. Vue.js has an ESM module which is useless without babel (due to the .vue file format), and Angular/React are still in the lets-invent-our-own-language fatigue.
The pain is real. Create-react-app will dump 250 MB+ of files in node_modules
however, newer approaches are emerging and (hopefully) will be stable soon. few noteworthy ones are:
1. SnowPack[0] (in early access)
2. Vite[1] (from author of Vue.js) . It is in experimental phase. but is quie good.
3. Unnamed project by Author of Preact.
