I seem to remember an post here last week that mentioned how convoluted, overly complex, and downright user unfriendly the JS tool-chains, and conventions have become. It certainly didn't seem like it was written by a Python/Ruby/Java/Go dev either. If I remember correctly it was written by someone in the JS community. I try to stay away from JS to the extent I am able due to the complexity.
