There are a lot of projects that can get away with around ~200 lines of simple Webpack configs. And yes, Webpack is complex but an important part of that complexity is coming from the intrinsic complexity of the problem we call module bundling. You can see this complexity in older bundling solutions as well. Regardless of whatever you'd like to believe, a lot of people figured out proper ways to do a lot of things with it. You may not be willing to deal with this yourself, that is understandable, but saying what you are saying about the most popular bundling tool in the ecosystem is a bit much. I myself regularly write manual Webpack configs and usually ~200 lines of simple configs are enough for me, as well as very performant. And I know a lot of people like me. Webpack is not perfect, and I'm not really a big fan, but come on. I guess what you have a problem with is people who write terrible Webpack configurations rather than Webpack itself. Maybe think about it.
