Thanks for reminding me I'm getting old and corporate.
My first two thoughts were:
* Imagine all the smart people in webdev world would improve the existing tool rather than create a new one. [0]
* "if you do less, it will go faster". I.e. Vite is young and new, supports a subset of Webpack and of course boasts how fast it is. Yet my repos can't use it because it doesn't has the support it needs for my repo sizes with legacy stuff. Of course it is "on the roadmap" and by the time it will be supported Vite is as slow (if lucky) as Webpack. Doesn't matter though as a new tool will be there long before Vite reaches Webpack..
Yup. Getting old and also cynical in the evenings. Dammit!
