I see a lot of import statements in the examples like:

    import {EditorState, basicSetup}

...does this mean you need webpack or browserify or something in order to use CM6?

No, import/export statements are part of ES6 modules. If you're targeting modern browsers (https://caniuse.com/?search=es6%20modules) you can just use it straight up, no need for complicating things with webpack, browserify and/or et al.

(Not really, at this point—the project, like most libraries with dependencies, uses non-relative imports, which browsers don't really handle yet at this point.)

No, not necessarily.

There is a dedicated page under examples, if you're interested: https://codemirror.net/6/examples/bundle/.
