If cra is your choice, you can try c-r-a-p ๐Ÿ’ฉ-create-react-app-parcel ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Itโ€™s really personal preference, but to be honest I havenโ€™t used create-react-app in a while and forgot it existed.

At the end It's better to make it your own way. create-react-app is for fast dev or examples but not for real projects.

That's not necessarily true. I know plenty of enterprit level projects that use React that were created with CRA. As long as you configure and secure it, it's the best solution for making a start on a React project.

I couldn't disagree with this more. In a majority of cases you don't need any additional configuration.
