The build step is the hardest of all.

Just look at vite, it's amazing progress, but getting it to work with legacy codebases is a nightmare.

Not having proper require support is a real killer.

My bet is in 5 years we'll have massive buy in to these one-stop tools, but until then, they don't fit the real world as well as i'd like.

Vite is definitely an improvement over what came before (Parcel can be nice too). And yeah, migrating an existing codebase can be difficult, especially when you have other integrations (storybook, etc) that need to line up as well.

Just updating libraries in use can be really painful if too much time goes by.
