It's important to note some key differences between _loading_ and _bundling_ modules. A tool like [SystemJS](https://github.com/systemjs/systemjs), which can be found under the hood of [JSPM](https://github.com/jspm/jspm-cli), is used to load and transpile modules at runtime in the browser. This differs significantly from webpack, where modules are transpiled (through "loaders") and bundled before hitting the browser.

Each method has it's advantages and disadvantages. Loading and transpiling modules at runtime can add a lot of overhead for larger sites and applications comprised of many modules. For this reason, SystemJS makes more sense for smaller projects where fewer modules are required. However, this may change a bit as [HTTP/2](https://http2.github.io/) will improve the speed at which files can be transferred from server to client. Note that HTTP/2 doesn't change anything about _transpiling_ modules, which will always take longer when done client-side.
