You do know that Vite uses a lot of these behind the scenes right? Vite in general has much better defaults so that you don't have to configure them most of the time, but anything a bit out of the box will still require messing with the configs extensively.

Not like OPs Vite+ changes anything regarding that.

Vite+ is built on top of the Rust stack (Rolldown / Oxc) developed by the same team and uses none of these.
Not "a lot of those".

It used Rollup.

And it does so transparently, while the alternative, Rolldown, was being finished.

To me this sounds like a more than acceptable compromise in the interim.

Not even Rollup. Vite+ uses Rolldown which is also developed from the ground up by VoidZero.
