Choosing something and making a decision is not as difficult as it seems. You don't have to when someone comes along and tells you "we should use pnpm because it's much faster". Before using any tool, you take a brief look at how it works and what it does, and decide accordingly. I don't understand why you see having more than one option as a problem.

I mean, analysis paralysis is a real thing. But I think people vastly overestimate the value of having a golden hammer solution like Ruby on Rails on your ecosystem and downplay the disadvantages.

  Major upgrades in Rails has been complicated & time consuming in the past. Loosely coupled libraries mitigates the work of upgrades.

why you see having more than one option as a problem Because some of us are hardwired to choose carefully. If so, when we have to go buy some groceries we just want to get a decent car and drive. The car and driving itself is irrelevant or minutiae, but we can’t tell whether it could take left turns from the start. When there is no decent car by default, we try to be picky about every component, and when it’s almost perfect, it’s also night and the shop is closed. It may be easy for you, for a combination of reasons: a huge experience, low perfectionism and high “fuck it, will sort it out later”-ism, and then something else. But it’s not a professional path we used to. Our professional path is to ask someone which car to buy and go buy it. But if you ask someone which js framework to use for regular tasks, you get this thread instead. On top of that, your resume will miss a 3 years of Winch experience, which suddenly everyone demands when you lose a job or fail your company.

  "It may be easy for you" I'm sorry that you understand this from my message. That's not what I meant. good luck with your professionalism.

    I think that perfectionism is a downside and coined that “easy for you” as a better mode which everyone would operate in otherwise. But it’s hard to let go of these anxious feelings, so we stick to picky routines (because if you’re not confident, it is unwise to git push). Sorry that my message wasn’t clear enough in this part. Personally I’m trying to care less when it is reasonable to do, but even the amount of options where to do that in common js stacks is overwhelming.
