Some notes of things that have changed in the last five years:
- bundling is (almost) no longer needed for simple import/export as we now have a native module capability (esmodules). The biggest issue you’re likely to have here is waiting for any dependencies you have to upgrade from common js to esmodules.
- transpiling is not as necessary unless you explicitly have to support IE11, or require something in the latest ecmascript spec.
It really speaks to the maturation of front-end development that after five years that article is still fairly accurate.
About time too - I’m too old to put up with that level of churn anymore.
