The most valuable thing I’ve learnt over the course of building replacements to tools, is that better performance isn’t always a good enough motivator for adoption. You need something else to justify and draw users in. Caches do a lot for warm starts.

Babel never claimed performance improvements over the alternatives. It offered an easy-to-use flexible solution. Yarn focused on performance AND ergonomics, nicer CLI, reproducible installs etc.

Babel was several times slower than jstransform when I started using it. I remember my first (and only) PRs were focused on improving that just because I was already fully sold on Babel.
