Let me guess: they adopted yet another opinionated boilerplate without cutting out the stuff they don't need?

C0D4681973yI see material-UI
Id wager they used the default theme and extended their mess into it. -
When you're new it's really hard to understand when you're bringing in a BEHEMOTH of a library to solve a small problem because you always think you're going to maybe need the other stuff...
As I've gotten more experience I find I just look at the code and say "yeah I like the way they do that ... i'll just write that myself" .
Like final form is cool, but I've never NEEDED all of what it does. -
Or maybe they don't want to reinvent the wheel by implementing stuff themselves, after the certain point, it becomes so bloated that you stop caring about performance.

msdsk31913yI'm glad I started out from just vanilla JS. Trying to reinvent the wheel was sometimes hard but eventually taught me a lot.

@tunneler this is a CRA template, only static builds are deployed so it doesnt really matter, everything is a dev environment, only static builds make it to production

some guy asked me to look at his react project,
I'm yet to find out the problem with his routing but look at this dependency list.
for a simple frontend project, I really dont know how many lazy developers are being introduced into the javascript ecosystem,
might seem normal to others but it feels wrong to me, as a beginner developer who isnt even dealing with a deadline
or......... maybe they are just plain clueless that they dont realize this level of redundancy
