“Winning tech” may be less productive for a one-off single person project.

But “losing tech” is unproductive when you have to maintain/upgrade your code over many years and onboard new developers into the team.

It is unfortunate that the tech industry’s choice of tools is largely fashion-driven but that is the reality.

The problem is, the entirety of the javascript ecosystem is built for large teams doing multi-year enterprise projects, and so unless you're launching a social media startup or something, you have to wade through a swamp of unnecessary complexity.
