Comment (by mnelson4):

 I believe using npm and webpack may address
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/44271.

 FYI we use npm for our plugin's build process. One significant advantage
 is that we can use the command `webpack --watch --watch-poll` (see
 https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/blob/master/docs/AA
 --Javascript-in-EE/build-process.md#watch) which uses poling instead of
 waiting for the OS to indicate that a file was changed. This is helpful
 because normal watching doesn't work when used from inside a VM (like VVV)
 and your host machine is on Windows.
