Do you have an better alternative? I haven't seen other tools which have a community this large, do automatic bundling and can handle (through plugins) all kinds of inputs. But that may just be my ignorance.

There is a reason we use this terrible tool: it's the only one that does everything it does.

That doesn't make it good.

It's like JS itself: it's a horrible language, but it's the only one that runs natively all popular web browsers.

When you have a monopoly, you don't need to be good. You just need to be here.
