Vite: This tool is so lovely. Thank you a LOT 鉂わ笍

I've been a happy user of create-react-app in the past 3 years until i realized ... it's slow. Very slow. And the build cannot be optimized that much without ejecting.

Until i discovered snowpack, which promised many things and delivered well. But not as well as vite. There are a lot of rough edges in snowpack although it's a wonderful tool as well.

Vite was fast, way faster than everything else. And i have integrated it in an existing app that's fairly complex. And the experience was amazing. The build was optimized more than with webpack or snowpack + babel-plugin-import and some config. And it was smaller with no configuration !!

Another thing is CPU usage, the first thing that alarmed me about create-react-app was my little mac air with 8GB of RAM crying every time i run the build command.

Snowpack was better, but vite (馃憢 rollup) is on a different league.

Thank you so much for building it. 鉂わ笍

This tool is incredible! It became the primary reason to migrate vue2 projects (which take ~20 seconds to build with vue-cli) to vue3. Should be listed in vue3 features.

Closing to keep issues clean - thanks again.
