I think the exciting thing about Storybook is that it doesn't really replace any one thing.

As frontend architecture gets more and more complicated and modularized, there has been a need to develop components independently and perhaps publish and demo as a reusable NPM package.

Component package maintainers previously had to spend time to setup their own development environment, mess with webpack, and structure the app to display different components in a meaningful way. They then have to figure out a way to create a static build to create a demo.

Storybook is able to provide all those features without starting from scratch, saving developers time and effort.
