r/reactnative on Reddit: Trying to remove "react-native init" is a mistake
October 27, 2024 -
No hate on Expo or anything. Expo is a great tool. I am using it to build my personal projects and the DX is pretty amazing. But forcing developers to either use Expo or use our "long-ass-community-cli-command" to spin up a boilerplate project is a mistake and I hate RN Core Team for this.

At least they added to the docs (very subtle) at the end of the latest blog post https://reactnative.dev/blog/2024/10/23/release-0.76-new-architecture#upgrade-to-076 npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init MyProject —version latest otherwise it was very hard to find. I hate them too because of this. I’m sorry I don’t like Expo.
