Webpack also needs `Promise` for `import()` and `require.ensure()`. If you want to support older browsers, you will need to [load a polyfill](https://webpack.js.org/guides/shimming/) before using these expressions.

We consider webpack to be a low-level tool used not only individually but also layered beneath other awesome tools. Because of its flexibility, webpack isn't always the _easiest_ entry-level solution, however we do believe it is the most powerful. That said, we're always looking for ways to improve and simplify the tool without compromising functionality. If you have any ideas on ways to accomplish this, we're all ears!
If you're just getting started, take a look at [our new docs and concepts page](https://webpack.js.org/concepts/). This has a high level overview that is great for beginners!!
-Looking for webpack 1 docs? Please check out the old [wiki](https://github.com/webpack/docs/wiki/contents), but note that this deprecated version is no longer supported.
