SMRTR summary

React is deprecating Create React App for new projects and recommending frameworks instead. The tool, which simplified React app creation since 2016, has limitations for building high-performance production apps. Existing apps are encouraged to migrate to frameworks like Next.js or React Router. Create React App will continue in maintenance mode, with a new version compatible with React 19. The change aims to provide better solutions for routing, data fetching, and code splitting, which are crucial for modern web applications.
