Module bundler versus module loader

After that brief overview of the tooling surrounding client-side modules, we are still left with the question - should we use a bundler or a loader? The status quo is to use a module bundler. With a loader, you may have to fire hundreds of HTTP requests to download all the dependencies. Even if these happen in the background, it can still lead to a slow load time. Therefore, using a module bundler is likely to allow the application to load quicker.
