Vite still leverages node, esbuild, swc, tsc, etc for parts it’s not directly responsible for. Granted I have no experience with bun yet, my take on it is that you can leverage bun for running the local dev server (instead of node), leverage bun for bundling (instead of esbuild or tsc or rollup or an amalgamation of them), and leverage bun for transpiring instead of Babel and typescript. What vite provides is an easy to configure setup for developing frontend applications with a nice DevX when working locally.
