Been a front end dev on and off for nearly 15 years. The DX is as good as it’s ever been now. JS/TS have become nice languages and deployments on platforms like Vercel are an absolute breeze and Tailwind means I don’t have to decipher anyone’s CSS class naming convention.
Whenever I see people say things like “we are back where we started with file based routing” I see it more that we’ve remembered what was good about the old days and cherry-picked that good stuff.

It's less that people take issue with JS/TS itself and more the frameworks that use it and the associated dependencies and tooling. The complaints in the article are very representative of my experience.
