I just shared my thoughts, including a quick comparison and what I recommend for beginners and experienced devs, over on LinkedIn.

Let me know your thoughts — What’s your go-to React setup in 2025?

A sleek and modern infographic comparing Create React App (CRA) and Vite. The image is split into two halves the left side is a dark red shade, representing Create React App and the right side is a dark blue shade, representing Vite. At the exact center, bold futuristic text reads 'Create React App vs. Vite'. The background has a smooth gradient with subtle glow effects, giving it a polished and tech-inspired aesthetic. No extra 'vs' text — only the centered title.
