I'm a self-taught dev focused on websites and Python development.
My friends call me the "Data Genie".
When I get bored, I find tech to read about, write about and build things with.
For those criticizing the article for not using create app and therefore being slower and less secure.
I think this article is ideal for beginners. It's overwhelming seeing files and how they fit together if you never used React before. And it's easy to forget something if it was generated for you.
I like the explanations going through the set up incrementally and also one will remember things better having actually typed them up or pasted them in a manually created file.
I also like the use of webpack so if you know webpack this is familiar instead of using create React app in script commands.
And when you need to make your second React app to be faster or more secure, then one of always use the creact React app CLI to set up a new project.
Oh also this article uses the latest version of all the packages so security is taken care of there.

I don't like create-react-app. It creates a bloated mess, installs stuff I never use, and fails to install other stuff I always use.
I'm actually using this tutorial to build a template I'm going to push to a private npm repository. It'll save me quite a bit of time once I have everything set up.

For my projects I like to have a template built around create React app output. Which already has docs and even CI to deploy to GitHub Pages.
Plus it has a bunch of sample components

This project is based on the template from the React CLI. I have added my own docs, the deploy flow and made very minor changes to the app.
Oh and if you are curious on how to build and host with no Node, I have this.
