really these tools tend to be most beneficial for large teams... or medium sized and small sized teams where folks come and go... I come from a server side static language background so it all 'makes sense' to me, these are the kinds of tools we expect to be 'baked in'... i find associates who have been doing a lot of front side development for a long time tend to be more negative of on the amount of tooling that are considered 'bare minimum' to get a project going at this point in time I am amazed by the churn rate though... require, browserify, systemjs, to webpack in like 4 years... grunt to gulp... backbone->angular->react in like 5 years... its a very fast paced world... doesnt bother me, but I have applications i support that have been in existence almost 20 years...
