I agree that JS tooling is out of control. I've been playing with Vue, and TBH have no idea how Webpack is munging all the files in the project into something workable. At this point I've given up on understanding. Likely in the future things will break and I'll need to figure it out, but for now I prefer to ignore it and get on with my work.

You're not forced into using Webpack with Vue though. You can go with the good ol' setup that looks like this: https://github.com/vuejs-templates/simple/blob/master/templa...

That's interesting, but it seems like it's intended for exploration rather than production.

Definitely not, that approach is as production-ready as the webpack version, but it places application structure in your hands.
