> Words mean things. And as the reaction here shows, for lots of people "Full-Stack Web App development" means "spanning frontend and backend", not "frontend and backend and everything you could need for a complex product". And that seems to be shared by many other sources.

Interesting note: the Sveltekit home page never says "full stack" and describes itself as "framework for building web applications of all sizes, with a beautiful development experience and flexible filesystem-based routing". Almost like the SvelteKit folks are aware of the potential gotcha from calling it a "full stack" frameworks. That being said, I am in the "this is full stack" camp due to prior art in the JS community. RoR/Django and their language communities have always been more about including all the parts (one could call it a "complete stack" style) and the JS community has always been about modularity. EmberJS strikes me as the last bastion of complete stack framework in JS (curious if there are others that are lesser known)
