I'm not trying to argue that it is harder, just different in some ways and ignoring that for the sake of "javascript bad" isn' going to change the point that there are challenges involved. Nevertheless I understand your pint a lot better now, thanks for the explanation. I think we are both on the same page that the JS ecosystem overall is not in a good shape. But, you know, maybe THIS wave of new shiny tools is finally solving the issues once and for all (not holding my breath though...)
