I had to come back to it briefly recently. But using "boring" Typescript, esbuild and preact, I have to say the experience was an immeasurable improvement. Verging on pleasant even. Everything was well-documented with strong Stackoverflow coverage.

Then they get caught in code review at least in any team I work.
No way I accept any unnecessary "disable lint" statement in a PR.
Also (of course, since it is default) the CI build system breaks if they commit and push without ignores, so no, trying to slide it past me doesn't work either.
React is just starting to become "boring", and I mean that in the JS sense of the world. Because it's lifetime would be considered "modern" and any other language.
I agree that the current JS ecosystem is fine if you don't get too far off into the weeds with obscure dependencies.
