I just want to revive this thread for a moment, because it’s discussing the merits of webpack vs brunch, and this is a pain point for me on every new project.
Brunch has a fatal flaw which has hit basically every project I’ve tried to use it with: it loads plugins in the order they are defined inside of package.json, which is alphabetized every time you install or remove a package. Invariably this causes me a development pain which I have detailed in my comments on this github issue.
I now take it as a given that my first task on any new project is to swap out brunch with webpack, and it’s definitely annoying over time. I would absolutely love to see webpack simply replace brunch.
