I thought the same when I read the article. It sounds like it’s just a wrapper around webpack. Why wouldn’t I just use webpack aside from this tool being marginally faster? Is there something I’m missing here? Couldn’t we just take their improvements and implement them in webpack?

The goal is to provide the experience that many other languages have, where you don’t configure anything. You just run “$tool build”

Generally $tool has a config file in the root of the project or similar. Webpack and other js compilers/bundlers are the same.

Webpack works with no configuration as of version 4.
