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 is great to hear, thank you!
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.
