It is great to see that so many users are enthusiastic about Biome. It is really gratifying to work on a project that is appreciated and useful to the community.

Once you build a simple Vite backend integration, try not to complicate Vite's configuration unless you absolutely must. Vite has become one of the most popular bundlers in the frontend space, but it wasn't the first and it certainly won't be the last. In my 7 years of building for the web, I've used Grunt, Gulp, Webpack, esbuild, and Parcel. Snowpack and Rome came-and-went before I ever had a chance to try them. Bun is vying for the spot of The New Hotness in bundling, Rome has been forked into Biome, and Vercel is building a Rust-based Webpack alternative.

Ruff is based on the same foundations that Biome (https://biomejs.dev/). Although Biome doesn't support all languages that Prettier supports, you should give a try, it is fast.

I am also confused by this goal, I've started a discussion in the repo to get some clarity on intent and direction there: https://github.com/biomejs/biome/discussions/1642

Biome [0], a fast Prettier-compatible formatter, is currently working on adding class sorting [1]. We expect to ship the feature with the next release (on February). We are discussing which options to provide for the feature (mainly on the Discord of Biome).

Probably not so seamless depending on how many niche dependencies you use. For a more seamless transition, you may want to checkout Rspack, its supposed to be a theoretically drop-in replacement for webpack, one of the maintainers of Webpack rewrote the library in Rust with performance in mind and they say it should have high compatibility with existing webpack plugins and build chains. They are currently working on Angular compatibility, its not available yet, but they are actively working on it. Angular Support PR
