>Webpack is a bane of webdev existence.

Modern Web Dev is the cause of Webpack though. Over complicated things.

I cannot count the days I've spend on webpack config breakage during the last years at work. It's never really been good at all either. The gulp setup we had before worked faster, better and didn't break once a month. Webpack really only is a pet project of the idiocratic React-community. Facebook not only screws your personal data over, also your dev workflow!
