I started a project in October. Spent part of November and through December building prototype frontends to decide which way to go - the whole next / nuxt type debate, looked at svelte and Laravel. Finally came to the conclusion that since I was using Django for the backend anyway, there really wasn’t anything that couldn’t immediately be done just as well with Django templates. Sure, maybe at some point I’ll need to integrate some other frontend tools, but by that time I will have tested market fit and I will have customer feedback that tells me if I actually need something different for my UI. All of these front end frameworks add a ridiculous amount of complexity and brittleness for unclear advantage.
