I'm exactly arguing against this Webpack, Typescript, React, etc approach to web development. I'm more productive in PHP + jQuery, a lot due to familiarity, of course, but I'm also a huge believer in a simple stack.

If you've 20+ mutually dependent inputs, maybe you need a better UI, not a complex state management framework.

If your browser is ultimately executing an untyped crazy dynamic language, is it worth trying to shoehorn types into it, only to later transpile it back? Not to mention JSX.

It all seems so crazy to me, but this ship has long sailed.
