The Zen of index.html

The Zen of index.html.
Web development has become a very complex field with many branches and tools to master. In this article, I suggest doing the inverse and use just a simple index.html file to manage all of the web app development scripts and assets. This might seem radical but does it make life more complex than using all those front-end tools we have become accustomed to?
