Yes. I mostly build libraries and rollup still beats everything in compatibility (esm, umd, cjs, etc) and output quality. It's slow, though, and I would love a faster alternative. Esbuild doesn't do tree shaking as well as rollup.

Can esbuild support esm or umd etc via plugins? I've looked at using it but these formats are an unfortunate requirement for the builds I need to do. I noted that esbuild doesn't fully support es5 transpilation and this will hold it back from some usage.

Vite uses it under the hood and has it running crazy fast.

  I think Vite only uses it for the production build, no? As far as I know Vite doesn't do bundling (yet) in dev mode.

    Vite uses both esbuild and rollup for the prod build. When doing React, it also adds Babel. This chaining of tools is the reason why it's so slow.

      "so slow." JS-perf world is quite insufferable. We're talking 0.09s vs 0.01s https://mobile.twitter.com/youyuxi/status/1585066162370777091 https://mobile.twitter.com/youyuxi/status/158506616237077709...
