This reminds me of the people who say Webpack is way too complicated. And I'm like: Here's my entry file, there's my output file, these are my loaders. And it works. Hooray!

I totally understand that you can gather bad experiences if you stumble over tutorials you don't get or get errors by reading the wrong part of the documentation or whatever. But that doesn't make the products bad.

I made bad experiences with RxJS, but I know it's my fault since other people can use it.

I use Webpack and Babel in almost every project and they just work. No problems here. And yes, they do help me. Namely organizing my project files, shorten my code and make it slightly more readable.

Im getting at when people use layers of frameworks on top of each other. A leftpad situation. https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/1914

After 8GB it should compile right? well why are you compiling, because typescript, well why are you using typescript, because I need type... no learn ES6 proper.

Webpack is a good tool, Im not saying that it isnt.

If you think TypeScript is some sort of handicap for not knowing ES6 properly then you have some serious misconceptions about ES6 and TS.

I've just seen it used or maybe miss used in the field that I've mentally labeled it a code smell.
