As if the churn wasn't already bad enough, I've recently started using JSPM[1] and it's pretty awesome. I'm writing ES6+ code with hot reloading react components.

If you're trying to decide between build systems I would recommend checking it out, and watching this video[2] for a nice overview.

Thanks for mentioning JSPM/System.js. It's really cool; it runs ES6 compilation with Babel (or Traceur) in the browser, and is able to download arbitrary versions of dependencies off a CDN.

I'm still fiddling a bit with hotloading React and caching source files, but it looks promising.

npm is getting its house in order when it comes to browser package management. I wouldn't bet too heavily on something else.

JSPM has fairly seamless support for loading libraries from npm, Github, local Git repos in any format (global, CJS, AMD, ES6) as ES6 modules.

So you don't need to bet on any particular ecosystem.
