Remix has improved substantially since Shopify took over the project. Remix adopting Vite makes it a real choice. Prior to that acquisition, they made some, what I believe to be, bizarre API choices.

now you can simply use the full power of Vite, which means you aren't locked into Remix having to make choices for you.

This is the 3rd time they migrated the underlying tech though, first it was rollup, then esbuild, and now Vite, which is effectively rollup again. I hope they stick with Vite for the foreseeable future though
