Switching from Gulp to Webpack

Question

UPDATE 30.04.20

[ Moving to Webpack ]

My first question is about how recommended is this switch for simple projects, just to Pre-Process/Con

Answer 1

For simple projects, I would not recommend the switch at all. In the end it's a personal taste I think, and I prefer postprocessing through easily understandable javascript (gulp).

As you've said in your question, your current setup works well: so why fix something that's not broken? I'd focus on refactoring your gulp code to make it a bit more readable, split the long functions into smaller gulp tasks.

In the end, using webpack requires learning a lot of specific webpack related config options, while with gulp you're mostly just piping vanilla js commands.
