Being a complete newbie on the scene a few years ago, the choice of frameworks and tools was so incredibly overwhelming (coming from C/C++ land). There are strong opinion pieces both for and against basically everything too. When you are still trying to figure out exactly what HTML and JS should be responsible for, having React, Vue, PHP, Elm and many more as options for "just making a simple web page" can slow down the learning process by an order of magnitude. I'm not sure what the solution is here- clearly each of these tools has a niche which requires them, but making a basic webapp without a web-engineering degree is quickly becoming an impossibility.
