Vite falls into the same category as Snowpack.

But seriously, give snowpack a read to understand the benefits of leaning on standard esm imports, allowing you to avoid a bundling process entirely.

I don't need to support non-esm browsers for most projects and I really like the idea of a super light build process. By removing the complexity of configuration and the overhead of bundling, svelvet makes the development process an optimal experience for myself and hopefully others
