I may be out of the loop, but isn't the JS/TS community consolidating around Vite?

turbopack is tightly coupled with next.js

rest of the JS community can't use turbopack, so they went with vite

Kind of weird way to put it. Turbopack was not a real product for years. It was forever stuck in weird beta/alpha stage and only recently went and became the default for NextJS.

Vite has been stable for years at least 5 years now and is built-upon because it's fast, stable, reliable and a bit less complicated than Webpack.

Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, TurboPack is for legacy projects that can't update from Webpack, but still want some bundle speed improvements.

Which is mainly NextJS (old and new), since under the hood that still seems to rely on Webpack.

Not really, because they only ported into Rust the most used plugins with "yes but" constraints.
