At one extreme, one can build a modern app from scratch with no libraries. At the other, you can over-engineer it with far more libraries than you need. Somewhere in the middle lies the correct answer.

So the key is not necessarily to have a set boilerplate to start from. It is to understand what each tool offers, and why/when it is better then not having that tool. So you can look at a project, and make an informed decision of what stack to build.
