FYI, browserify has support for all the cool tricks you list too now; it&#x27;s just a question of finding and wiring up all the right plugins.<p>Eg, lessify, css-modulesify, or csvify will handle the cool require tricks, browserify-hmr does the fancy hot module replacement, watchify has incremental recompiliation support if you manage to configure it <i>just</i> right, etc.<p>Mind you, I find webpack easier to configure (all the fancy browserify plugins destroy it&#x27;s simplicity), but the two toolchains have had feature parity for a while.
