I agree - I love esbuild, but Vite is great and will generally give you what you want and more with minimal hassle. The development server and hot reloading are excellent.

I did recently find one thing that didn’t work out of the box in Vite, though. I needed to write a web worker, but Vite didn’t package it into a single .js file, so I had to call esbuild directly to do that.
