We are now in 2026 and Bun has not yet replaced VIte. So it's safe to say my prediction from September 2023 that "Bun won't replace Vite in the near future" was correct. Vite has actually had a meteoric rise in downloads since then, even outpacing NextJS and closely following React: npmtrends.com/next-vs-react-vs-vite

With forward-leaning frameworks such as TanStack Start and VikeJS being built on Vite, and the popular vanilla use of Vite with React, it seems like Vite is here to stay for a good while longer.
