I'm not a web dev but used webpack some years ago. Is the issue not that webpack works fine once you finally get it working, and the complaints are about all the issues before it does?
- skrebbel 7y agoYes it is, but this article highlights what an achievement it is that webpack is possible at all. I think Bracha would gladly struggle through some config if that was all that stood between him and his holy grail of liveness. Plus webpack got a lot better even in that regard, and there's alternatives like Parcel pushing the curve. Web devs sometimes don't realize how good they have it :-)
- baddox 7y agoPerhaps, but you’d get similarly unsatisfactory reviews from any technology before you have learned how to use it. Criticism of how difficult it is to learn a technology is valid, but it’s not a valid criticism to say that a technology is not working well before you have learned how to use it.
