Comment on Show HN: Reactpack – one command to build your React front endparent

the most obnoxious style-guide of all

What do you mean? I've heard people say that a couple times but they never really elaborated. Do people love their semicolons that much? Are people offended that it's called "standard"? Or something else?

They are specifically working on it according to this React.js Conf talk

This is very exciting. I prefer React over Vue, but one of the things I love about Vue is vue-cli[0]. Something similar, if not better, for React, would be greatly appreciated.

Tbf I just looked over 'standard' and it's improved a ton since it initially came out. Bar one minor rule, the only rule I still object to is the semicolon one, which I'm obvs not going to get into a discussion about, because I value my sanity. I'll edit my above comment if I still can :)

There also exists semistandard, just for you :)

Which this tool doesn't integrate with...? Ultimately, that's always the problem with these "get-started-quickly" tools.

Semis aside, I take issue with the name and the badge[0], making it seem like _the_ style of writing JS instead of just _a_ style. The contents of the project are fine, but this aspect is misleading for people new to JS.

using the name standard is just harmful when your linter doesn't follow a rule (yes semicolons) that 90% of the codebases use.
