If you're lucky to work in such an environment, more power to you. A lot of people have to deal with React where you need so much glue for basic tasks, and React isn't even the worst offender. Some boilerplate you can't wrap.

I use React at work, there is barely any boilerplate. I actually started a brand new project based on React recently and the initial setup before working on actual components was minutes.
