Installing Apache/Nginx is a 1 time deal. A browserify/webpack workflow requires that you set all of that up for each project, and to start your watch task every time you develop. So if you're working a few different projects you either have to switch between them or start new watch tasks for each. I understand that some people enjoy this workflow and am not saying they are "wrong", just pointing out the added requirements.
Hmmm... I'm sure most people are like me and have their own scaffold set up, and don't rebuild everything from scratch. For every project that I write, I do...
...which watches everything on localhost:3000, including my unit tests and source code, and reloads on change. Dead simple, fast and consistent stuff and everything I could possibly need set up in less than 1 minute, every time.
Most teams, I imagine, work in a similar way.
Not to mention, if I wanted to pass over the project to another developer, I would just have to tell him to clone the repo and hit `npm install`.
