Should you make directories, package.json, wire up the .html to ReactDOM, and all the other little things? Most likely not. Just &amp;#x27;npm create vite&amp;#x27; and select React.&lt;p&gt;It can be used for other JS like Vue, Svelte, and Preact.&lt;p&gt;For example, if you wanted to quickly make a UI, you don&amp;#x27;t need to fiddle with webpack and other crazy build steps. This guy had just run &amp;#x27;npm create vite &amp;amp;&amp;amp; npm install &amp;amp;&amp;amp; npm run dev&amp;#x27; and starts creating UI right away: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;youtu.be&amp;#x2F;A0BmLYHLPZs?t=68&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;youtu.be&amp;#x2F;A0BmLYHLPZs?t=68&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

Those who don&amp;#x27;t use Vite, Webpack, or similar tools ends up with multi megabyte websites that are a mess.</text></comment>
