Webpack, for all its size and features is actually pretty flexible in its usage. You can use it in various ways as long as you’re willing to write a long enough config file.
If you only use commonjs and don’t use webpack for managing any CSS or images, then you could, use it like browserify and maintain compatibility with node. But webpack doesn’t try to conform.
Browserify on the other hand, being smaller and more established is easy to pick up. And if you conform to some of its conventions, you have write very little or no configuration to make it work.
So, Browserify is much more likely to work with minimal configuration but will force you into a small set of conventions. Webpack on the other hand will always require some configuration to work for anything but the most basic case.
