Agreed. I think the perception comes from lots of people who are using heavy frameworks for simple, mostly-static webpages. Yes, they add complexity to my life, but the experience of working with React/We pack/Typescript is unparalleled -- especially considering what I was working with only five years ago.

Yup. Converting old promise based code to using async/await and fixing all the places that give "variable could be undefined" type errors is so satisfying. Recently I did a huge refactor of some TypeScript code without running the app and just being guided by the type checker errors for several hours and it worked almost first time.
We pack = Webpack?
