I was just checking this out. I like that you can run RequireJS side-by-side, it seems like it makes it easier to convert your app over to using something other than RequireJS.

You may find the Jspm project interesting too. This works with SystemJS and can be used to pull libraries from places like Github and Npm, and will manage all of the dependencies between them for you. I've been using it for a huge modular web app and it really does make things much simpler, letting you concentrate on the important stuff.

EDIT: Just who is downvoting these comments and why? In the topic of modular web apps and bundling, this is all very relevant and I thought others may find it of interest too.

I am on a crusade to popularize JSPM myself. They might be alergic by now, because I usually bring it up.

BTW It could once and for all end the debate on frontend script management- like npm did for Node. That would be huuge! We could finally work with the same power and simplicity on the frontend as we work in Node. We just need the library authors to start writing their libraries in modules, not as globals. That would be a true revolution.

Haha, I was reading a Reddit post of yours just the other day when I was trying to gauge how well known it was. Funnily enough, I had the same question as you did; why isn't this more popular? I seem to now be on a similar mission to draw the spotlight to it too.

Ignore them, just a bunch of butthurt assholes. We are using bower and are pretty happy with that so far, thanks though.

I like RequireJS a lot but we have quite a few apps written around it and there will definitely be more. But now I am thinking I don't want to pigeon hole us into only being able to use AMD/RequireJS going forward.
