Seriously? Code organisation and globals are massive pain points; pre- CommonJS/AMD/UMD we needed both boilerplate + strict conventions, post- , well, they're all dependencies, they all need toolchains. Why should I not want to remove dependencies with something that is syntactically and practically extremely simple? I guess there may be a few JS programmers rubbing their hands at the thought of another bundler and another dependency to add to the toolchain (but it's better this time! promise! just install another 200 NPM modules and off we tootle into JS bliss!), I dunno?
