Those are some really impressive numbers.

I was really impressed with the speed of Vite, which uses Rollup under the hood. I never had any real complains about Webpack's speed until I tried Vite out. In my experience with Vue apps, the difference between Vite (Rollup) and Webpack was much greater than esbuild's data shows.

Vite only uses Rollup for the production build step. During development it uses ESBuild for pre-bundling, and then serves everything as native ESM, that's why it's so fast. They might get rid of Rollup in the future if ESBuild gains more features.
