Comment by Will Cameron on "Webpack or Browserify for a new ES6 project?"

If you're like me, webpack is going to feel crazy at first, but it provides so much utility that learning it is 100% recommended. Cool side-effects are you'll get a little more comfortable with url parameters, regex, and the syntax of configurations. Google-foo will most definitely be required - even the Seniors at my job still have to google how to build with webpack at times. But it's such a great tool you won't regret it.

Here's a really clean easy example of a webpack config - github.com/camerow/webpack-starter/blob/master/we…

It's too complicated .. Still can't understand how to make custom builds with it . Looks like super simple task for grunt, gulp or even broc , but not for webpack ))) What i have to add to build compressed and uncompressed output. For example github.com/linuxenko/gixi/blob/master/webpack.con…

If you're talking about minified code, you get a -p flag (production) that will automatically minify your code when pushing to prod. And it can be complicated at first - essentially learning the configs necessary, but I don't believe too complicated is a good reason to not learn something. If it was, I would have never started programming in the first place.

Stick with it!

There is any reason to learn it ? )) It can't even make two different builds in same time .

Sounds like i hate webpack ))) sorry. No , i just give it a try .. maybe, one time, it will be really used idk.
