A lot of people complaint about Webpack. But most other languages only provides up to Grunt and Gulp equivalent, namely Gradle, Fake etc. As who had maintained large Gulp scripts, those Scripts would eventually become a huge pile of non-standard and ad-hoc scripts. Webpack is complicated, I admit. But it's much better than Gulp I my experience, so why is everyone complaining? It turns out the problem Webpack or JavaScript solves are more complex than other language solves. JavaScript is the center of the Web, you cannot expect let CSS bundling itself, so do images and fonts. Let alone compression, prefixing, and giving fonts and stuff size thresholds to in-line them in JavaScript. There would definitely better tools in the future like Parcel and Pika are trying but the problem doesn't go away. I'm looking forward to see other languages facing the same issue in WASM age.
