webpack AND all the extra plugins and preprocessing and postprocessing CRA adds -- its not a small webpack setup by any means and you can get 1s build times with webpack pretty easily without CRA

Agreed, I use webpack for small and medium projects and it's basically instant. I use TS but not the compiler - I tell babel to strip types and use just a few plugins, transforms and loaders.

I'm not in love but it's a core tool in almost all of my projects, personal and professional.
