I really love esbuild. Its speed is amazingly fast, and my node_modules folder is so clean.
But not being able to transpile to ES5 makes it a hard choice to use in client-facing projects, where IE11 is not totally dead (yet).
Its doable to integrate with swc (another great tool on the list), but now the build chain is longer, and more things to take care (such as sourcemaps).
Even if I guess IE11 is technically not EOL'd by Microsoft, they will stop supporting it for 365 services on Aug 17 this year, so I'm curious what kind of businesses are still using it.
