We used to be RequireJS/jQuery based on the frontend. While this obviously depends on what kind of application you have, attempting to develop complex UI in jQuery is not an experience I'd describe as "pleasant", nor does it naturally lead to creating reusable components. On the other hand, switching to React + Redux + webpack (and NPM) has changed development from "we can't do that" or "let's copy paste from some other component" to "I'll have something by tomorrow" and "I'll reuse the generic React widget I made last time". It's really a game-changer. Also, ES6 >> ES4. Destructuring doesn't bring you what real pattern-matching does, but it's still a lot nicer than what ES4 gives.
