I don't feel defensive, honestly build systems are boring to me so I'm not that passionate about it. What I meant was that its simple relative to what it could be. Yes, build systems are complex, because people need features, even if you personally don't need them. Webpack doesn't offer many ways to do the same thing; it just simply has a lot of features. Whenever we get enough tooling around ES6 modules to match it (or come close), I'll gladly switch. You'll see a fuller example later. I'd love to see a matching set up using systemjs/jspm. You could convince me to switch.
