I’ve been exploring various alternatives and I’m certainly of the same mind as you.

It’s always trade offs and that’s fine.

What I find interesting/ frustrating is every framework or option likes to sell you on some numbers that are very nice but so specific they’re not the big picture. And/or talk about how they are different / better than another framework that I might not even be familiar with.

Technical pages now have their own confusing sort of developer marketing.
