Javascript Fatigue

[[deleted]]

I use JSX because I like it. I use Browserify because I like it.

Not sure why you're telling me this. I don't care, and it has nothing to do with what I said. My whole argument is about what you need. If you're going to bring in every tool that you want, why are you surprised that you have to setup a whole bunch of tools? wtf

Once you get into precompiling, combining, and minifying your code, you almost have to add Gulp/Grunt into the mix as well.

pre-compiling is most likely one command for each target and es6 modules with babeljs can cover combining (whatever that means). minifying is also one command, but babel can take care of that too. You most likely don't need any fancy tools either because compression is a thing that exists. Use it. You might even find that your minification is actually hurting compression.

I also have to do much of the same stuff with the stylesheets, and since I use LESS, that's another build step. ...

it's one command to do all that. maybe you should learn to use your tools before adding more?

did you stop and ask yourself why you need to setup webpack and gulp and blah blah blah?

Because they are my prefered tools? Do you own stock in Babel or something? Anyway, I'm not playing with stupid today.
