Which build tools churn this badly, exactly?
Rollup has always been a straightforward path. Vite (built on rollup) is super clean. Before that even, webpack was relatively stable between versions.
If you just used Gulp / Grunt / Browserify I am a little more sympathetic, especially with Grunt / Gulp, but I always felt their limitations were obvious.
Browserify somehow managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory IMO
- dgb23 4y agoI think almost of these are on the list of past and present enemies. I haven't used Vite but I have better things to do than change the build tool in dozens of projects a year without any guarantees that it will not break like the rest of them.
- no_wizard 4y agoif you adopted vite from 1.0, you wouldn't have a need to change build tools in dozens of projects a year. Its really stable. Same with rollup. Webpack (was?) a little less stable, but it didn't churn at that rate either. I'm just not sure where the churn is from. If you're talking about meta frameworks, like create-react-app, that churn alot and change things underneath, I get it, though with tools like that, one should always seek to stay on the happy path only, as its otherwise a recipe for disaster.
