'Most of the tools we use today didn’t even really exist a year ago: React, JSX, Flux, Redux, ES6, Babel, etc.'

ES6 is a new version of the language under discussion, Babel is a tool to allow you to compile code written in the new version into the old version. The other 4 examples are all closely related to each other, if you use JSX and FLUX you use React, if you use Redux you probably use React.

In other words while I believe fatigue exists and is probably warranted, these were bad examples of what would cause the fatigue.




that said if anyone can explain to me the benefits of webpack in comparison to my gulp.js build pipeline with real examples then it would be nice.
