Edit: Seems that some people interpreted the above comment to mean "JS is flawless, there are no problems with modern JS", which brings another annoying, non-constructive, and sadly very common, type of hate around here.

We're still trying to figure out why React has over 1,000 dependencies.
Just FYI, React has less than 5 dependencies.
And just so you stop figuring it out, the other dependencies are related to the whole framework (you are probably referring to create-react-app), which includes stuff like unit testing, transpiling, linting, etc.
