why in heaven now we have to use webpack?
.... and where is an example to mix just some scripts? Previously I was copying some boostrapt css and fonts, mixing javascript and browserifying. Now for the life of me I don't understand how to accomplish the same stuff using webpack. ... And I don't see any tutorial to make the jump from gulp to webpack anywhere.

Carry on using Gulp and keep your world a happier place.
Webpack is the worst thing to happen ... in the history of the world ever.

Except that webpack is far more feature rich, less buggy, easier to use and is the standard for the framework. But I mean its cool rock out with windows 95.
Level 46
Nope, Webpack isn't more feature rich. By it's nature as a task runner, Gulp can do anything you can do in Node. Without bewildering configuration options.
But I mean it's cool to rock out with Java like configuration from 1995.

@topvillas Get with the times, Webpack is way better than gulp. I bet you haven't even read the documentation on it and you just don't like change.

Nope, I've read the documentation and used it and it's complete kak.
I bet you've read the documentation and impressed yourself with how hip you are.
When did the Laravel community become defensive, angsty Webpack fanbois?
And why aren't we all using Parcel? I guess some of us don't like change.

Actually I've used gulp before Laravel started shipping with webpack by default and webpack makes it much easier to do things than using gulp did.
Level 80
easier to use
Even people working on Webpack don’t know what it is.

It's Laravel. You don't have to use it. You can still use gulp (even the older elixir package), or whatever you want. It's just configured to use webpack out of the box, like many other convenience settings. It's also configured to use bootstrap, vue, jquery and a number of other things by default. You don't have to use any of them.
