This is a good blog post, but in my opinion it’s just too early for this. I understand that DHH doesn’t want to switch from Webpacker to Vite or Snowpack because then there would be two integration gems (or three, counting Sprockets) that need to be supported. But in my opinion, this is wishful thinking. I believe Rails would be best served by adopting the excellent vite_ruby gem for Rails 7 and beyond and leave webpacker (and Sprockets!) behind. Instead this blog post basically tells me that we’re stuck with Webpacker for years, or need to use unsupported integration gems for the foreseeable future. This is understandable, but disappointing.
I outlined my opinion that Rails should adopt Vite in another thread: Webpacker - Bootstrap - JQuery, what am I doing wrong (and why so hard?) - #21 by evenreven
