wmr for near-instant builds & native TS support

Preferred tech stack is always something I choose for the job at hand. That might just be a few rollup plugins + a tool like WMR or Vite, but it can be also be quite complex and custom build system too. It depends.

While the development process is evolving for developers, there’s a need by many developers to have an all-in-one development tool that will make web application development faster and easier.

wmr does not have error overlay / SVGR support

It did not take a lot of time to choose the tool. Currently, there are 3 major bundlers powered by ESM - vite, snowpack, and wmr. From the first glance - all of them look promising and I did not care about their internals as long as I don't need to touch them.
