How long can we keep adding to the tower of javascript shitware before it falls over? Honestly I thought it would have fallen over a long time ago. Just looking at long chains of mystery-meat that npm imports, and the time it takes Babel to compile the simplest of projects make me just want to say the hell with it all and do everything as GET/POST.

So why don't you do everything as GET/POST?

If you're looking for alternatives to Webpack, please also check out JSPM (a good short description might be "preprocessing system + package manager + systemjs"): https://jspm.io/ It takes a little more to get it to work with vue (the plugin that makes .vue files work is older and unsupported nowadays), but I use it just fine, with my template, styling and component files separated (I wrote a little thing: https://gi…

Rollup looks pretty good too. It's on my list to play with. https://rollupjs.org/

Rollup looks like the future - one big plus is the output looks nearly hand crafted compared to the unreadable mess webpack shits out.

Do you guys use any public websites that are based Vue, React or alike? Everytime I search for sites that use frameworks like Vue or React, I came up with mostly empty hands. Except for example pages or pages by coders for coders. Or pages that "use" one of the frameworks but seem to make no use at all of the functionality. When I ask around people usually tell me "Well, at my company we make a dashboard for another…

We're using React on NFL.com's new home page and Vue on https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/ (two different teams). AirBnB is mostly React too.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

mainly its the react fatigue, thats finally tipping them over the edge to try something better. vue seems to have come in at the right time for that. and given the momentum, its possible that vue may supercede react at some point if this keeps up.

I'm getting pretty jaded with the JS ecosystem as a whole. I don't want to have to learn new (effectively throwaway) technologies every few months because, fundamentally, I'm interested in building valuable products, not in learning technologies as an end in itself. Or, in other words, I have better and more interesting things to do. Also, this endless churning is not how you develop expertise. The way things are at…

> or that WebPack is a quantum leap over Gulp

Webpack is absolutely a quantum leap over Gulp which is just a task runner. Webpack is an asset processing pipeline that completely changes how one approaches js development. Also, webpack's developer tools like webpack-dev-middleware and webpack-hot-middleware are amazing tools that don't have comparable equivalents when you consider their integration into webpack in general.

Thanks!

Tried it a bit and thought: "Hmm.. it's probably react that causes all these spinning "loaders" everytime I click somewhere. Wouldn't it be better without?". How do you see that?

EDIT: Ups, why the downvotes? With spinning "loaders" I mean the "loading" animation the website shows. The spinning circle. Anything bad about this question?

I wonder the same thing myself. Occasionally I look into these frameworks to see if they really add anything to the development of complex web applications vs. the amount of work they take to integrate them and it always heavily seems like a waste of time.
