When I first started using Webpack 4 years ago, it had the most finnicky, difficult-to-configure (perhaps even magic) API I can think of. It worked really well once you got it configured, and wSokra was incredibly helpful and supportive in the chat room; but if you didn't have a known-working config and/or access to wSokra, well, good luck.

I'm highly supportive to anything they can do to make it easier to configure and maintain, even if the cost is breaking the old APIs and making folks migrate to newer ones.

Hopefully as someone works on a library and learns a problem space more thoroughly, they have better knowledge of what an ideal API would look like. I know migration can be painful, but I'm very supportive of long-run improvements to a project.
