Completely agreed. Webpack faces the exact issue that Grunt ran into which is these huge 'config files of doom' that end up as snowflakes which are hard to understand.

Rather, defining the build process entirely in code lets you step through the whole thing logically.

I don't find that to be true at all. In fact I would guess that across all my projects the configs are 80-90% identical. The only thing that changes are different loaders depending in the tech stack and maybe the addition of a few bells and whistles such as i18n.
