I am fairly good at avoiding cargo culting and only using things I understand. I am uncomfortable developing any other way. With JS build tools, I eventually gave up and accepted being uncomfortable. (And to be clear, we're talking "levels of abstraction" here. Or interface/implementation. I don't need/want to understand the implementation of the tools/libraries I use. I need/want to understand how they work at the "interface" level, the mental model for what they offer and how to make them do what I want, and what choices are available on what axes. I normally achieve this. With webpacker, I give up and just copy and paste magic phrases).
