If yes, chose a standalone application over the webpack plugin.
Examples:
If yes, chose a babel-plugin-macros over the webpack plugin or other type of babel plugin.
The webpack plugin or babel plugin, except macros, will require touching webpack config or .babelrc
, which is problematic and consumes a lot of developers time unnecessarily. I saw at least twice fresh project started by the whole team choosing "ideal" webpack setup.
Autocomplete reduces typing required by about 25%. On Google, that’s over 200 years of typing time per day.https://t.co/W2aPeedsbj

All time saved by Google autocomplete is spent to configure webpack. This is not an attack on webpack. I like webpack, I use webpack, I'm grateful for webpack. It is we, developers, who create problems ourselves by creating plugins, which requires attention, without real need.
