Webpack is awesome, and sort of unrelated to React.js. It's a SPA bundler that works across server and client. It virtually works with anything, so I'm not sure why it's getting mentioned with React.js necessarily.

React and Webpack are both awesome, they both work across server and client, they complement each other rather well. Obviously they are mentioned together a lot.
You can use React without Webpack just fine, as the article shows you can use React without any bundler at all. But it is just so much better with Webpack. When you really start making components and put them in separate files, the raw approach in the article will not scale very well.
