Having just gone through all of this (two years ago), it isn’t “hard”, you just have to stop assuming it’s easy and will only take a bit. Also Parcel is easier by a factor of 10, skip Webpack entirely.

  Correct, I deal with "difficulty" as a spectrum. The consensus so far here seems to be that this is "hard". I disagree, I think it's not "easy" but surely not "hard" either. Somewhere in between, leaning closer to "easy". Mostly it takes the willingness to learn and patience to recognize that it's a whole class of knowledge, separate from actually writing a javascript app.

    Ok, I see where you're coming from. I'd call that "tedious" and "taking up a lot of time I'd rather spend productively". ;) But snark aside - good point with the reference to Parcel. I haven't had time yet to delve into the new generation of JS tooling that have come up in the last few years, but yeah - its approach looks much saner. (vite also looks promising.) Its' just...sigh maybe I'm just a bit jaded WRT to project age/maturity. I mean, it's only 4 years old! At least it has a V2 already. ;)
