Many #React devs consider create-react-app the obvious choice
Many #React devs consider create-react-app the obvious choice.
But that era is passing.
- It’s not supported by Meta full-time anymore
- There are faster, more powerful alternatives
- It was never intended to be the “best” way, merely a simple way

So, in 2022, I predict many teams will move away from create-react-app and toward modern React frameworks.
Here's why:
✅Faster startup & builds (See @snowpackjs, @vite_js, @parceljs, esbuild)
✅Server-side rendering
✅Static generation
✅Image optimization
✅Built in routing
Key frameworks to consider:
Next.js by @vercel
@GatsbyJS
@astrodev
@blitz_js
@redwoodjs
@remix_run
Yes, create-react-app still works great for client-side apps. But, these frameworks pave a clear path toward #transitionalapps (blending the benefits of SPA and multi-page apps) 👍
