- Cordova doesn't pick a style of writing modules/plugins
- More control over how plugin loading works

Prefer this approach for now, might be a better way to do this eventually:

Good points by Alex Young, James Burke

> Cons? 

- No way to require() or import() other plugins, e.g. extend a plugin
- Difficult to "test" cordova plugins 
- Shouldn't need to compile/transform/transpile a plugin to test it

Not a fan of any 'bundling' tool with so many dependencies:

The ES6 web modules situation is evolving, but still messy:

Seems better to experiment more
