# FAQ ### What is the added value versus all the boilerplate projects out there like [create-react-app](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app)? The proliferation of boilerplate and metapackages is one thing we are trying to reduce. These types of projects are great, and do serve a purpose. But what if you wanted to make a configuration change across all your projects? You must make config changes in many places, including the original boilerplate, whereas presets give you the power to confine these changes to a single package. Some of these projects also make a tradeoff between ease of set up and black-boxing the configuration. Once you decide to make a configuration change, you are forced to maintain the entire configuration and its dependencies in perpetuity. We believe Neutrino represents a good balance between ease of set up and future extensibility.
