A rose by any other name…

I gave the following Browserify talk at the Webpack edition of NodeSource’s monthly meetup. Webpack’s Sean Larkin had given his “Core Concepts” talk before I went on, and I made a comparison to Browserify’s concepts.

While my talk is chiefly satirical, I get serious towards the end: Webpack is powerful because of how configurable it is. On the other hand, people like Browserify because it’s opinionated, so you can focus on building your project. I hope to see improvements to Webpack in 2017 that make it more accessible.
