Libraries and frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js offer significant performance benefits, but also introduce new pain points
Unnecessary re-renders, Large bundle sizes, Slow initial page loads, Memory leaks, Poor mobile performance. The lack of support for them in Create React App is glaring.
