> Any JS application these days is going to be a tooling nightmare: Webpack, Babel, TypeScript, ESlint, React, polyfills, plugins, and then dependencies. That's awful no matter what JS framework you choose. Create React App doesn't fix that, it just hides it for the first step of creating a react application. You still have to maintain all that nonsense.
Doesn't NextJS do the same? The alternative to compare to would be a plain setup without any heavyweight boilerplate. These days you could you esbuild, but a webpack config can be ~50 lines and quite simple if you build it up from scratch.
