"It's fast" is not going to sell me on a build tool. Make files are fast too. What we learned with the evolution from Gulp/Grunt etc. to Webpack is that you need to find a sweet spot between zero config and full config. The "batteries included" approach works until it doesn't, and for small projects I'm sure it's fine. But every large project inevitably ends up with all kinds of snowflake config that Webpack handles really well, while also having a robust plugin ecosystem with standard defaults.

For the vast majority of people, you go from a 150 lines Webpack config to a 15 lines Vite config, possibly the default values. It is kind of incredible. They've found "a sweet spot between zero config and full config" you are mentionning.
