Npm can be pretty nice if you know what you need (which might not be the case always; the modern web stack can get pretty deep). But I still like: https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/how-to-use-npm-as-a-build-tool... And the accompanying example repo: https://github.com/keithamus/npm-scripts-example I'm not eniterly clear on what parcel/webpack does better/simpler - maybe windows support? I certainly see how one might prefer yarn over npm for dependency management, though - so maybe npm isn't as nice a build tool anymore?
