I have been using esbuild for a while, and I can say that it's looking like a huge improvement over webpack, snowpack, vite, etc.

I made a web app starter that uses esbuild to bundle a react-redux app [0] and my experience was very positive of the bundler.

Vite and snowpack are built on top of esbuild, so I’m not sure your comment makes sense.

The point being that, IMHO, extensions over ESBuild tend to not improve the developer experience because they have a tendency to bloat and steer towards being "webpack but esbuild", which defeats the point of esbuild, being the "anti-webpack".

Tools such as Vite, aren’t designed to improve the developer experience of ESBuild. They exist separately and leverage ESBuild’s strong qualities – JS, TS and CSS bundling and minification.
