It was a shift in workflow to no longer use javascript but overall I've really enjoyed it.
Generally, when I create an app I use the typical route of react front-end and the backend is the API. To me, this almost feels like writing/maintaining the app twice especially on solo projects.
With liveview this isn't the case at all. You still have your separations of concerns but you get the server-side rendering workflow with all the benefits of a highly interactive front-end.
I want to emphasize though that I've been using liveview for less than a year on a relatively small app so I am by no means an expert. I'm certainly not suggesting that everyone drop javascript-heavy workflows and switch to phoenix/liveview but I do feel comfortable enough suggesting that it is a serious candidate to be considered.
