I try to stay away as much as I can from front-end, because modern front-end is a shit show. Unless I do the front-end for my own app and then, the order of preference is server rendered HTML, HTMX, Web Components, Vanilla JS. Stuff I am sure I can maintain with ease 100 years from now. For CSS I would use something simple such as bootstrap. I kind of agree with the author of using tools you know are reliable as opposed to chasing fads. Of course you must and should learn and use new things, but proceed with care and carefully consider both upside and downsides.
