Or, put in another way: If you're are 10% worried about that you get to do production deploys 10% faster and 90% worried about how fast you can deliver the code to your users when they load your site (and/or bandwidth costs that increases with each user), then esbuild might make more sense for you.

For the rest of us that are 100% focused on the best experience for our users, we stick with the tools that does the best minification while being a bit slower, and throw more hardware at it if needed for the deploys.
