Great it worked out for you, but if it wasn't such a pain to upgrade (I know this from personal experience), wouldn't there be lesser FUD?

Is this your first time on HN? People will complain about anything and everything. They'll incessantly dismiss anything that they think they could have done better in a weekend.

There's this whole FUD around Javascript in general. If you didn't know better, you'd think there were client-side tools in other ecosystems where you didn't have to learn or credentialize in anything to build a full-featured client.

I’m saying explicitly he or she is making up problems that don’t exist. My presumption is they never used webpack or tried for a second and gave up. My theory is this user likes to parrot things about the JS scene. Upgrading webpack involved changing some things from an array to a keyed object or something. It was nothing. I’m not particularly smart or JS savvy.
