Next.js, SvelteKit and so on are backend frameworks for sure, giving you an http server, routing, authentication, data loading. It’s just a slightly different toolkit than you’d get from traditional frameworks (an ORM, job scheduling, etc). Express indeed hardly qualifies. As a long-time frontend developer, I find Angular pretty bad, but I understand it feels fine if you come from .NET/Java or another “enterprise-y” environment.
