I understand your frustration. I had the same problem as you: I found webpack waaaay too abstract. Tons of configuration was needed to even begin and there was little to no documentation that I could follow as a mere mortal developer. So what I did was to rewrite the majority of their beginner guides by submitting PR's for 2 reasons. 1: help out people like you and me. 2: learn about webpack in the process. I can really recommend following along with the Guides, because they use really, really basic examples and become more and more "complex" (it really isn't) as you follow along. You can find the guides here: https://webpack.js.org/guides/ https://webpack.js.org/guides/ and I really hope it will help you. It isn't as difficult as it has always seemed and if you have any struggles: don't hesitate to give the webpack team (including myself) feedback so we can improve the docs and guides. Hope it helps!
