@easy-webpack: Same idea, similar execution #103

Hi @andywer,

I'm the author of easy-webpack, which, from the looks of it seems like the same idea as webpack-blocks, just executed by a different person. Am I correct in assuming you weren't aware of my project in July 2016 and thus started your own, or was there something about @easy-webpack that didn't satisfy your needs?

Looking through your project I saw some overlapping issues between our projects: the latest design of @easy-webpack uses a different solution to the ones proposed in #34, I've been struggling with the 'best design' for this myself.

Being the default configurator for the @aurelia framework, we also had some user complaints about how 'blackboxed' the configs are (i.e. it takes an effort to take them out when you reach a point a 'preset' is not enough; I imagine it's the same with webpack-blocks), so I had some thoughts on how to mitigate this for v3 of @easy-webpack by simply inlining the generated configs with a sort of virtual 'git' repository, marking edges of inlined presets in comments. I've also recently thought of a different concept for conditional configuration, like this, but I'm still thinking about the best way to solve both of these.

Would combining efforts make sense to you?
