SystemJS:
- SystemJS is known to be quirky with dependencies that it uses for its own polyfill
- Importing libraries/modules from npm is not as simple as it is using WebPack
- As you add dependencies and the code starts to grow, a fatal flaw of JSPM( systemjs) is revealed. It becomes extremely sluggish. A single refresh can take about 15-20 seconds as the browser will load 100s of different JavaScript files
- Gulp is still required for:
- Minification
- Envification (envify)
- Generating unique hashname for bundle file
WebPack:
- Changes are now shown in milliseconds; Webpack’s dev server is designed for speed. Not only does it support incremental builds, it serves directly from memory
- You can easily import libraries from npm (e.g. Bootstrap or Foundation) without worrying about their exact path within node_modules
- No need of gulp. Webpack itself takes care of doing all the tasks that require Gulp in SystemJS
- It appears that Webpack was designed from the ground-up for large applications and it shows in the development process
