    I like Vite because it's the dev-server/build tool behind our React PWA frontends - the HMR is genuinely instant even on a big component tree, which old webpack-based setups never managed. My one gripe is that some older React libraries still assume a CommonJS/webpack world and need extra config or a patched import to work cleanly under Vite's ESM-first bundling.
