I use MERN stack - huge community and libraries for everything. I like the "everything as JS" approach I can take with React as I never liked jumping between html/js/css. Additionally, I found Firebase to be a really great way to start and run projects. The most important piece of that is Firebase Auth which solves a complex and important problem without costing an arm and a leg. Other services such as Hosting, storage, and functions were really easy to start with.

The thing that I don’t like about that stack is the absurd amount of cruft that comes with it. Take a look at the node_modules directory for just the React app. It’s huge! Combined with the boilerplate of the other parts of the stack, the amount of code that the developer has no insight into is absurd.
