Have you seen some of the things we are building for the web these days? Full applications, with multiple "pages", server-side rendering above the fold content, minified builds that load not only content--but code as well--on demand from the server, etc. Absolutely: this is overkill for your blog or portfolio website, but part of the rising complexity with the tooling and dependency system is due to the rising complexity of the applications themselves.
