This thing is so complicated and so full of magic and options and the documentation is so shallow, I can't find examples, can't get a tutorial that isn't uselessly superficial.

I've tried using Webpack in its begginings, because React people only talked in Webpack terms, but then switched back to Browserify, which is simple, not magical and straightforward. I tried using Webpack again lately, with the bizarre Gatsby static site generator, and the failures are enourmous. I can't even understand how exactly does a loader work. Gatsby makes forced use of something called webpack-config or something like that, which is just a useless abstraction on top of the already confusing Webpack config.

Please, someone explain to me what does this thing do that Browserify can't.
