Hi,

I wanted to suggest you can use Laravel Mix to simplify the work with webpack.
Mix does not require a Laravel project and provides a lot of plugins/workflows built in, e.g. ES2015 compilation through babel or React.
I think a collaboration would make sense instead of re-inventing the wheel 😄

Thanks for the consideration and for all the work you guys put into this!
Greetings from Germany

Or perhaps neutrino which is backed by Mozilla.

Although webpack is already tough enough for beginners, throwing another level on top of it can make things even more confusing sometimes

I agree that webpack is definitely confusing, I think that adding another level on top is not the right answer. People who live in the front end world, will already have their own tools and setup they'll want to use, so they'll probably through out what is generated. For those that don't live in that world, it's easier to say "google web pack" then something else.

With that said, I wouldn't say no to a blog post, tutorial, etc.. on using these different tools with Buffalo.
