Webpack is probably fine for new or small projects. It's when you've been using it for a while, do anything complex, or worst of all your framework libraries update then you have to update Webpack which is a nightmare.
Ive had Webpack break more of my deploys than any other piece of software in the last 3 years.
Vite was basically a plug and play replacement (almost zero config) and I also got to drop Babel, so that meant replacing about 12 packages in my package.json and who knows how many in Yarn.lock (Mostly babel and webpack plugins) with 2 vite packages. It's much faster at builds and the chunking of small js files seemed more intelligent and better integrated with Vue.
