Heh, recently our webpack (and tailwind) build was getting slow, so we did some research and turned out swapping, configuring is also making a huge difference without boiling the ocean.

Take a look at some of my recent posts to see details (tldr: esbuid-loader, tailwindcss jit, ignoring node_modules in css processing)

I hope one day we wont need build step altogether... :)

Competition usually sparks innovation, so I hope that webpack and the like take some notes of each others progress and improve ever more. I too hope that we don't need those tools in the long run, native TypeScript support by browsers would be an amazing start! :D

And cutting off support for old browsers so that developers can actually focus on using modern tech insted of searching for polyfills and workarounds :)
