Anything that simplifies webpack configs is a good thing!

Do you think the blocks they have already created would do everything the current webpack configs do or would custom blocks need to be created?

I havent used webpack blocks yet but it seems like it can. I'll try to make a PR for this over the next couple of weeks (or early January)

I'd like to wait for couple of weeks and see how people works with it. Many developers use this boilerplate on production project so we should use bleeding edge technologies carefully.

@chentsulin good idea. Lets wait for a month or so. Mid-January?

It's ok. we can send a PR to open discussion at that time.

It's been a while since this was last discussed. There's a PR open which adds happypack support. This will significantly improve reduce the build time of the boilerplate.
