I have tried to use esbuild, and over the past 3 months I had at least a dozen times when it has compiled incorrect code that doesn't work or doesn't do what it's supposed to do. So despite the performance benefits, I was forced to go back to webpack, babel, and terser.

Any specific scenarios where it fails? We're using it across a wide codebase and several teams and I haven't seen or heard that issue.

For me personally, it's mainly CJS imports which I can't drop.

Of course the correct way would be to force the dependencies to support es.

But vite has now become default for me as well for new projects.

Did u try using typescript with esbuild? React + esbuild + typescript is a perfect combination for me. I had the chance to kick off a new project a few months ago and started with this stack. It needed roughly 50 lines of code to get a decent server side rendering development experience set up. Compile time is still below 200ms.

The only issues I had in the beginning was esbuild's compilation of typescript enums: the import order was off from time to time. Besides that, no issues. I am also super glad I do not need to configure webpack any longer.

Do you have any repros? So far I’ve found esbuild give the correct output.
