Oh, webpack is a great example of my frustration: I suspect it might be better than browserify for my needs, but I'm already so shell-shocked from adopting browserify at work that I no longer have the nerve to disturb the house of cards that I've built here. Thus webpack will have to wait.

Anyway, I hear you, although the only way to make Scala.js work better for everyone is to use it. Otherwise building a community is an insurmountable chicken-and-egg problem.
