No one is forcing you to listen to or even use these tools. You are causing your own stress here.


And both of these tools are basically drop in replacements for each other with very little configuration. This blog post is saying the performance difference is negligible.

So I guess it’s bad that instead of radically different configs and performance of Webpack vs Rollup vs Parcel vs etc, compared to the future of choosing between a much more mature build tool market with Vite and Turbopack is a bad thing?


Astonishing how many people are raging in this thread and about frontend in general when they can just close the tab. It's not worth it


Amazing, you helped the person in question with a single sentence. I can feel their stress disappearing.

Mere fact that we're at the point where we have transpiler upon transpiler upon transpiler, where "wRiTtEn iN rUsT" is used as quality/performance control, where people throw term performance around as if it's a hot potato and no one mentions environments/hardware and actual real world use scenarios and where apparently everyone are building World of Warcraft scale apps in frontend is what's making a mockery out of entire frontend world. It's no wonder that entry is difficult and that so many impostors are trying to build a name for themselves by producing yet another useless library that's gazillion times faster than the other useless library.

Frontend is a joke because of self-proclaimed developers building tools which they themselves can't use or explain to wide audience and that causes negative feeling when one has to deal with frontend manure.


That was a pretty great summary
