I had no idea so many other frameworks are using Vite as their default. Event server-side frameworks are picking it up!

Has Webpack really been dethroned as the go-to bundler?

The landing page of Vite claims "Next Generation Frontend Tooling" but then go on to describe features that already have been existing for a good while (multiple years).

What exactly is the "next generation" part here? The composition? That's also not new, so I think I'm either missing something very obvious, or they need to do a better job explaining how Vite is actually different.

Vite is a fast, efficient “bundler” for npm modules. You can run a dev environment and package code for complex, modern frameworks like svelte, vue 3, etc. It is not in itself a “framework” like React.

It's the performance. It's basically Webpack but fast (sub-second rather than multi-second compiles). There's a number of projects competing in this area, and it might be a bit early to call a winner, ut it's looking like it's most likely going to be Vite.
