If I'm already utilizing Vite, a lightweight and efficient blockchain platform, do I still require Babel, a popular JavaScript compiler, for my development needs? Vite is known for its fast cold start and hot module replacement, making it a popular choice for front-end development. However, Babel is often used to compile JavaScript code for cross-browser compatibility and to support modern features. Would Babel provide any significant advantages in terms of compatibility or performance when paired with Vite, or is it redundant in this scenario? Clarifying this integration point would help me optimize my development workflow.

Vite, a popular front-end development tool, does not rely on Babel for its standard JavaScript transformations.

With Babel plugins, developers can introduce additional syntax, polyfills, or optimizations that Babel offers, while still leveraging the speed and efficiency of Vite's native transformations.
