I think your missing the point. Having n+1 tools to do the same thing (compile/run a React/Vue app) makes things more complicated, not less.


That only makes the process of choosing tooling more complicated, not using it once you've made that decision.

The post you're replying to assumes you have chosen Vite, and it's arguing that Vite is as simple as Hibiki. Vite does a lot of config very well, and it really does "just work" for 95% of apps. You need to be doing something quite unusual to move past the automatically configured defaults.

The same is true of Parcel, Webpack 5, esbuild, etc really. Automatic zero-config bundlers are very good these days.
