You sound like you work for Vercel. Vercel is not the only company working on JS tooling and they are nowhere near replacing Webpack yet.
> And it's objectively faster than Vite, not that I care
From this submission:
"Since this is a composite benchmark that involves both Node.js and native Rust parts, there will be non-trivial variance on different hardware. The numbers I posted were gathered on my M1 MacBook Pro. Other users have run the same benchmark on different hardware and reported different results. In some cases Vite is faster in the root case, whereas in others Vite is significantly faster in both cases."
Right now, Vercel is making much ado about nothing.
