Ejecting results in a messy webpack config file

[darajava]

Sometimes it is necessary to eject, and I usually do it early on so that I have better control over the configuration. With previous versions, the webpack config after ejecting was a lot more manageable. With the current version, it's confusing and very long, and it is also using the old webpack syntax. I think the generated file is a bit too complex, and I would imagine it would make more advanced users of react less likely to use CRA because of the pain that ejecting brings. I would like to be able to eject while keeping the config files small, simple and usable.

Is this a bug report?

Yes (maybe a proposal)

Environment

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download CRA
2. Eject
3. Notice webpack.config.*.js

Expected Behavior

A clean, simple webpack config file which is easier to maintain and uses the newer webpack syntax.

Actual Behavior

A long and difficult to maintain config file is produced for webpack.
