Hi, didn't know Snowpack? How is it performance wise?
After struggling with parcel and rollup I'd rather wanted to stick to something solid ... even though I hate to do that ;)
I still have the problem that webpack does not perform so well in a container on initial dev build. If I have the time I'll do the switch and test it. Maybe it's faster.

Snowpack's blazing fast from what I can tell. I've written a small post on trying it and was amazed by it! Webpack's performance is lowered a lot, from what I know, by the sheer amount of regex it uses to do what it does. Snowpack's community is afaik growing pretty steadily, even though it doesn't get much visibility (at least in my filter bubble lol)

Snowpack is very fast in dev, as it just re-compiles the files that were changed. Then you can configure it to leverage webpack for production.
