Hey dammit, we’re autistic programmers, not pedantic dorks! ;) But seriously, I’m not sure that’s entirely fair. I do think Webpack feels not-vanilla, even if it doesn’t change how you manipulate the DOM.
Fine I'll use rollup instead.
... why would people wonder that? You expect a community of hackers to not nitpick? A group largely populated by programming people who are entirely accustomed to a single character changing the entire function of a statement and who frequently expect natural language to work the same way?
