This a good overview of some popular tools for JavaScript development.

The thing that gets me about modern JavaScript development is the amount of modules you download to build your code. Currently I'm going through a PluralSights course for Gulp.js. Just to help me build and test my code, over 240MB of modules were downloaded. I'm starting to understand the benefits of all those modules. The thing that gets me is that the process makes you download all those modules again for the next project.
