Create-react-app is what you’re looking for.
But then you're forced to use React...and as soon as you need to do anything outside of what it provides it all falls apart which happens pretty quickly in my experience with it.
Can anyone point me to a workflow where the cognitive load is similar to how it was in the good old days? i.e. some thing that does everything for me apart from the bit where I write application and presentation code? That mostly just works and doesn't require me to understand the whole stack. Because when I switch to other languages/environments I can most remain blissfully unaware of the plumbing that keeps the thi…

I'm not sure where this idea has come from, but WASM is designed to run alongside Javascript. It isn't replacing it.
This. It's funny tough, people are starting to pump giant runtimes over the air just to get C# running on the frontend, while people already complaining about JS bundle size smh.

I have not needed to touch any of the config files and it “just works”. I got turned off by React and Vue where you need to learn a build tool and write your own config.

Can you elaborate on what you run into?
I wonder if someone quantified the millions of hours wasted by OCD bikeshedders moving their projects over to the latest, not-necessarily better new thing offering vague utility improvements over the thing that was just starting to feel comfortable... if the JS community would stop churning their north star toolset every 18-24 months. Seriously: it's like you're trying to nuke the moon. This is why people legitimatel…
Awesome with new ideas and approaches to things. Just because someone have taken time to solve things differently does not automagically imply that this is something that forces someone to throw old stuff out. Strange comment IMO.
My own personal theory is that because the barrier of entry is so low, people get a little too excited about being a contributor and solving a problem "differently" (sometimes before even understanding the problem space well enough). In short - lot of it is inexperience.

Appears to have goals similar to https://parceljs.org/ , except parcel is under active maintenance and development whereas the latest release on this one is from a year ago. Am I missing something important? :)
This project is very clearly under active dev. The box Github puts on the repo front page saying the last release was a year ago is misleading.
