#4What features does Webpack 2 offer over Webpack 1?
My favorite change is how configuration has been clarified. For example, see how loaders are configured now - instead of using a giant string delimited by special characters like this:

options: {
modules: true
}
},
{
loader: 'postcss-loader'
},
{
loader: 'sass-loader'
}
]
More config changes are summarized here:

After having used both Webpack 1 and 2, my favorite feature is simply most of the insanity being gone.
I was hitting my head against my desk setting up npm and webpack 1 for almost 3 hours a couple of weeks ago. I then said fuck it, replaced them with yarn and webpack 2 respectively and all my issues were fixed.
Truly magical.

System.import split-points for code splitting, generates bundles with dependencies for lazy loading by route (automatically code split react router routes). Should make progressive web apps and optimization easier.
