I agree. Vite is amazing. And most of the comments here seem to be same old complaints we’ve heard and debunked over and over about the state of frontend dev tools. I do wonder if other industries act like this to their specialties. E.g. do carpenters complain about the tools that boat builders use? Do butchers complain about bakers having to many tools. Do cobblers complain about marketing materials for tools used exclusively by dress-makers? I doubt it. Most front end devs I talk to don’t complain about the things commenters here are talking about. Most of us—that I know of—are happy with the tools we use, are fine with the evolving landscape, and are able to read through marketing materials of most of the tools we are picking. Honestly, if you are not a front end developer, why do you care about this?

Insecure non-frontend devs continue to see frontend as an easy programming environment, and therefore assume the problems in it should instantly make sense to them and be easily solvable. Because after all it’s easy, and they’re smart, and if they were a frontend dev, they wouldn’t even need this tooling because it’s so much easier to start from first principles of an index.html page. It’s funny because I’m a frontend dev and I can do the job of a backend dev better than most backend devs. Yet I don’t go into every thread about Python and complain about what a horrible experience it is to install and manage.

  All because frontend started with “html” + interactive toy “scripting” for fun animation. It’s like they all forgot about Turing completeness. Programming is programming. Love your comment :)
