Mint looks nice, but I am worried about the tooling. It feels it’s trying to do too many things. Don’t get me wrong. I really applaud the effort and it’s great

Don’t get me wrong. I really applaud the effort and it’s great. I’m just telling you why I wouldn’t use it. I’ve been building SPA’s for over a decade and have had my lessons. Things are complex for a reason when it comes to large code bases contributed to by a large team.
At a previous workspace we used pug(jade). Great language but it’s just not about the language. The tooling around the language really matters. You want linters, prettifiers, typecheckers, sourcemaps, dependency analyzers, good ide code completion, auto doc generators, etc to work with it.
Making a language with good ecosystem is really hard.
That’s why I prefer to stick to well supported proven basics.
Typescript, prettier, jsx, eslint, webpack, stylint, scss, css modules etc
Small well supported tools that do one thing really well and work with other tools. (Unix philosophy)
