I propose getting rid of tools altogether. On a new project, start with the following: a single browser (for bonus, choose the mobile version) and vanilla everything (JS, CSS and HTML). If you need a build step to run your tests or your code, you have gone too far. Every thing you will ultimately need a build pipeline for is an optimization (bundling, subjectively cleaner code etc). I have found that if you get too hung up on optimizations before you have built something interesting, you have let the tools run away with your project. This is an easy way to lose motivation and become distracted from what you set out to do in the first place.
