ViteDevServer use express instead of connect #2234

[valoricDe]

In "ViteDevServer use express instead of connect #2234" it is already discused that it is annoying to be not able to reuse express compatible middlewares.

The reason for not moving towards express or another abstraction was, I quote:
"I don't see a point in making Vite more coupled to a specific framework."

I was wondering what made @yyx990803 choose connect in the first place? Isn't vite coupling itself to the unmaintained? connect framework?
