Is this project on the deprecation path as well?

As react-hot-loader has the 'Deprecation Notice'.

It's primary dependency (react-hot-loader) is deprecated. I would not use it anymore. As suggested, use React Transform. Dan prepared boilerplate for that too https://github.com/gaearon/react-transform-boilerplate

[gaearon]

It’s a tricky situation because React Transform is also an unstable project and might change significantly later or get deprecated as well. For now I’d say they both have their own pros and cons.

[exiadbq]

So for new project development, which you would suggest to start with?

[gaearon]

If you use something like Redux to externalize your state I would suggest neither: reduxjs/redux#1455.
Otherwise I can’t really suggest either because both have different problems. Try both and see what works better in your particular project. Hopefully I’ll have a better answer in a few months :-)
