My apprehension is that today's thing is webpack. I learn it inside and out. Then tomorrow it will be something else and the investment is wasted. I guess I am stingy in my tooling investment because they come and go so frequently, especially on the front-end.
Edit: I guess the point I'm dancing around is that Webpack feels too fiddly to be the ultimate solution to front-end builds, so I'm reticent to invest too much into it.
That (fortunately or unfortunately) is the nature of the beast. I personally like that things DO change and that we get to learn new things. Wouldn't it be very boring if we were using the same tools in the same way (just simplifying) every day? The only investment is time, but that kind of investment is usually good. Yes, you should pick and choose wisely. Just determine what your end goals in choosing are. Once you get one thing down, however, it becomes a bit easier to learn new things each time around. Hope this helps!
