| Thanks for the reply. My worry isn't so much about the tech itself, but rather the governance issues—and it's not about "Make Webpack Great Again." 1. I genuinely like Vite's design and UX (I actually started my frontend career with Vite + Vue). My only concern is the ecosystem getting vertically integrated under a single commercial roadmap (Oxc => Rolldown => Vite). It feels like shifting from a community-driven ecosystem to a VC-driven product suite. I am worried about vendor lock-in, especially with commercial suites like "Vite+" existing. 2. Regarding Rspack/Rsbuild, I do treat them as one of the Webpack alternatives. Although ByteDance doesn't rely directly on build tools for profit like Vercel or VoidZero, and Rspack/Rsbuild reuses community results, I feel the vendor lock-in risk isn't that high. But Rspack/Rsbuild's current volume isn't huge -it's obviously much smaller compared to Webpack/Vite. So I think I might need to wait and see. 3. I previously valued Webpack 6.x mainly because of the governance structure. Like Node.js, it belongs to the OpenJS Foundation after all. I guess I feel that for such critical infrastructure, neutrality is quite important. When choosing tech for frontend projects, I also focus heavily on community governance. The only regret is that it's a bit old and has performance issues. So, I was kind of hoping it could solve some of its downsides. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what I said above. Also, I am curious about your take on the current shift in the JS ecosystem. I think in the current JS ecosystem, commercial companies are increasingly dominating core infrastructure *directly*, and using that infrastructure as a core part of their business plans. Objectively speaking, this leaves *less and less room for neutral, community-driven governance*. |
