I still use shell scripts for moving assets around and build sass, I use webpack for the TypeScript/dependency managment (via yarn).
I looked at doing it with webpack but frankly 2 lines of bash that'll work the same in a decade vs haha no wasn't a hard choice.
Does it, though? No project of moderate complexity will be able to reuse a Webpack config. Conversely, how large of a problem was this for simple sites?
