Like any tool, the value of these tools becomes apparent only when the alternatives become inconvenient. If your workflows are simple enough that you don't need them, more power to you!

Also, while JS lib/framework fatigue is a very real thing, ever since I switched to React+Webpack, I haven't felt the urge to switch to the 'latest n greatest'.

They are a major milestone in the JS dev tools space, and a pretty safe bet for someone who just wants to pick something and not have to think about it afterwards.
