Novices don't need any of this - Babel and webpack are for pros who need to support IE9. I have in my team 19 year old who knows all this stuff to implementation detail, so it's not that hard to learn - speaks more about this friend.

Novices should be referred to preset codesandbox.

The article didn't mention Babel or Webpack, the first attempts to use the module were with Node, not in a browser.

There's blame to go around but I mostly blame npm for being full of hot garbage while obscuring what is garbage and hot.
