Webpack, by itself, doesn't generate configs, unless you're referring to the Webpack CLI tool.

FWIW, Webpack 4 (which just went final a few days ago) now has "zero-config" defaults out of the box. You may want to give that a shot.

Eh, I tend towards “let’s not touch this if it works”. I’ve already had to upgrade from Webpack 1 to 2, and 2 to 3. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Sure, I can sympathize. That said, I've seen a bunch of "here's my results after upgrading to Webpack 4" tweets going around, and they all indicate much faster builds and somewhat smaller bundle sizes, with very minimal config changes needed.
