You sound quite fatigued! Here's what I suggest:

- Uninstall webpack for a month

- Download the few libraries that you can't live without

  * Put them in a script tag

- Disconnect from HN and Twitter. Better yet, the internet all together.

- Finish whatever you're working on in peace, and save Abramov & friends from your thoughts about how inconvenient technological progress is for you.

You've conflated needless churn with progress.

They're not the same thing.

You've somehow managed to put down the hard work of community leaders from your hind-sight high horse, and at the same time, disown responsibility for the choice of library/language your software was built on. Implying the fault is on them for doing their best to push the community forward, rather than on you for shipping software built on presumably new, unproven, and highly volatile foundations. Impressive, sir.

I guess we just disagree on what constitutes pushing the community forward.

I don't write javascript software, I merely have to experience the pain of using it.
