> I'm looking forward to Phoenix 1.6 which ditches Webpack for esbuild. Every step away from the insane churn of the modern frontend world is welcome.

I don't like the churn either, but ditching X for Y only contributes to the churn.

Looks like Rails wants off Webpacker as well https://github.com/rails/importmap-rails

Yes, Rails 7 will not use webpack (or almost any other “modern JS”) by default. https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/42999 is the big change.

Phoenix is the maintainer of the Elixir esbuild package--it's just a binary.

This is too broad to be true in general. It depends on what Y is...
