If you’ve been keeping up with the latest trends in the technology world, you’ve probably noticed that there’s been a lot of buzz around Vite recently. Vite is a build tool for modern web development that has quickly gained popularity among developers.
So, why is everyone using Vite? In this tutorial, we’ll explore the reasons behind Vite’s rise to fame and why you should consider using it for your next web development project.
1. Lightning-fast development environment
One of the key reasons why developers are flocking to Vite is its lightning-fast development environment. Vite leverages the power of modern build tooling to provide near-instantaneous feedback when making changes to your code. This means that you can see your changes reflected in the browser almost instantaneously, making for a highly productive development workflow.
2. Support for modern JavaScript features
Vite’s build tooling is optimized for modern JavaScript features such as ES modules and JSX, allowing you to take advantage of the latest language features without having to deal with complex configuration settings. This makes it easy to write modern JavaScript code without worrying about compatibility issues.
3. Built-in support for popular frameworks
Vite comes with built-in support for popular front-end frameworks such as React, Vue, and Svelte, making it easy to set up a new project with your framework of choice. This means that you can start building your application right away without having to spend time setting up the build tooling yourself.
4. Hot module replacement
One of the standout features of Vite is its support for hot module replacement, which allows you to see your changes reflected in the browser without having to reload the entire page. This feature can significantly speed up your development workflow, as you can quickly iterate on your code without interruption.
5. Highly customizable build process
While Vite comes with out-of-the-box support for popular frameworks, it also offers a highly customizable build process that allows you to tailor the tooling to your specific needs. Whether you need to add custom plugins or tweak the configuration settings, Vite makes it easy to customize the build process to suit your project requirements.
6. Active community and ecosystem
Vite has quickly built a thriving community of developers who are actively contributing to the project and creating plugins and extensions to enhance its functionality. This means that you can easily find support and resources to help you get started with Vite and take your web development skills to the next level.
In conclusion, Vite has quickly become a go-to build tool for modern web development due to its lightning-fast development environment, support for modern JavaScript features, built-in support for popular frameworks, hot module replacement, highly customizable build process, and active community and ecosystem. If you’re looking to streamline your web development workflow and embrace the latest technologies, Vite is definitely worth a closer look.
They prefer simplicity and ease of use, even though they are called developers !!. Additionally, many of their projects remain small in scope. This helps explain the trend of developers gravitating towards Vite.

I can code a site in a text editor and console from scratch, build javascript web-apps, facebook-ish sites, whatever… but I cannot understand why I would need vite, why I would want to bundle things, why I would want to put myself in a situation where I needed to compile front-end code, just so I could get excited about HMR. What in the world am I missing?
It's a blessing so I don't have to configure the annoying webpack

Speed and TS support are nice, but Vite is the reason why I can't easily set breakpoints in my Svelte projects or use WASM in Solid projects 🙁
Just converted my CRA app to vite. It was tedious but so worth it. Especially since CRA is all but deprecated.
give us more..
I get it. It's fast but why is everyone ignoring the huge security risk of exposing your API connections and key because it serves the JSX files in the network activity tab without masking them or encoding them.
Nice explanation. What did you use to do the animation on the video (like the moving hand icon at 1:07 for example)?
I know it's very simple and people have been doing that a lot, but I'm just curious.
Is it Premiere Pro or After Effects?
Thanks.
I cannot get the chrome dev tools debugger to work correctly in my vite/vue/typescript projects The source maps do not align breakpoints correctly.
