Funny enough, if you look at the comments for pretty much the landing page of web pack you get the same sentiment http://webpack.github.io/docs/what-is-webpack.html

You admit most of the world had moved on from AMD, but don't see why advertising AMD support as a main feature - to the point it's mentioned in the sites description - would dissuade people? Being able to shim script tag libraries is mentioned in various places through the docs (and used to be even more prominent than it is now). I'm responding out of charity here: you made an angry response, were shown to have misre…

Mr. that was not my reply, and I didn't made a angry response... If you thought my characters conveyed angryness I apologize, I just critcized your points.
