Replace Webpack with Vite in Shopware Administration Panel
Switching from Webpack to Vite in the Shopware Administration Panel would significantly improve development speed and the developer experience. Vite offers faster builds, better HMR (Hot Module Replacement), and modern JavaScript tooling. Its optimized build process and plugin ecosystem make it a future-proof choice for modern frontend development.
By adopting Vite, Shopware developers would benefit from shorter feedback loops during development and an overall more efficient and enjoyable workflow. Additionally, it aligns Shopware with the latest frontend development trends, ensuring continued relevance and appeal to a broader developer community.

Thank you for this idea. :) From our 6.7 release notes, June 2025: "Webpack has been replaced with Vite for the administration build process, improving performance and DX." https://github.com/shopware/shopware/releases

Great idea, the wait time for the app to rebuild is incredibly long and this should be rewriten on vite asap.
