  not exactly, although my phrasing doesn't help that impression. I more meant that with webpack you're generating a config object which gets fed into the "webpack engine", where I'd rather have the power of numerous smaller plugins that I can glue together how I please. It seems to tie into the debate around frameworks vs libraries, or the unix philosophy vs enterprise philosophy too, but that's a whole 'nother thing.
