Create React App 2.0: Babel 7, Sass, and More

I'm disappointed setting up typescript is still such a pain with 2.0.

&gt; <i>More styling options: you can use Sass and CSS Modules out of the box.</i><p>This is what I&#x27;m most excited about. Emotion is great but I&#x27;ve heard a lot of great things about CSS Modules, just haven&#x27;t gotten around to trying them out yet because it&#x27;s been so complicated to do. I&#x27;ll definitely be giving it a try now.

These are some pretty great improvements. I never felt I had to have cssmodules or sass, but I’ll definitely use them. Great work!

I see Facebook’s React team is in the comments. Please keep in mind that the open source aspect of React is part of Facebook’s hiring strategy. While I believe the React team are genuine in their friendliness and passion for their work, they also represent and are payed handsomely by one of the worst offenders in surveillance capitalism.<p>(I realize some might feel a comment like this is out of place here, but considering the recent news about enormous leaks and privacy violations, I think it would be more strange if it wasn’t brought up.)

I tried Babel some time ago, but I can remember it was painfully slow. Has this improved?<p>I also didn&#x27;t understand why so much functionality for different languages are harbored by a single tool, instead of multiple smaller tools.

Stoked to see service workers will use Workbox!

Thanks for all the hardwork. I used this library when I worked at Uber and Netflix.

Is it possible to use Redux without an eject?

&gt; If you previously ejected but now want to upgrade, one common solution is to find the commits where you ejected (and any subsequent commits changing the configuration), revert them, upgrade, and later optionally eject again.<p>That seems insane to be honest, yet it&#x27;s seems to be the norm to upgrade a framework in JavaScript (same with React Native). Is that the best solution there is? In many other languages, you can upgrade a framework without reverting commits or trying to figure out what to keep or change in huge diffs. Surely there should be a way to keep the base config untouched, and have user changes in a separate config that overrides the base on?
