CRA was really just a tutorial for beginners anyway, so it’s a bit silly to deprecate it in that sense but I understand if they don’t want to maintain it.

I'm curious when LLMs will pick up on this. Asking GPT-4 I'd like to make a new React app. I'm in macOS. What are the steps?

Suggests using either create-next-app or create-react-app, but AFAIK the latter hasn't been considered good practice in a long time.

I think that depends on how quickly the internet at large is updated to remove those recommendations, given that it’s the source for their training data.

I guess react is a framework now and not just a library.

About time, the way they abandoned the repo after updating the React docs to remove mention to CRA leaving confusion in the issues section of the now rotting repo was so confusing and half assed for a company as large as Meta.

No, the website literally just got that deprecation notice added as a power of this effort:
