Is create-react-app still the most common way to fire off a new react project?

• webpack

  331 64,179 9.8 JavaScript

  A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.

  

I wouldn't recommend starting a CRA app today. Our team is on CRA3 (Webpack 4) and for our large app dev startup time to first pageload is 70s -- not great. But I tried upgrading to CRA4 (Webpack 5) in a branch, and the startup time increased to 6 minutes. I'm not the only one having this issue with Webpack 5, and until there's substantial improvement on this front I am strongly inclined to stay away from Webpack or anything Webpack based.
