What are the minimum technologies needed to get a solid front-end stack, with a nice balance between modern features without framework/library/build tool/transpiling hell?

For example, I don’t want to learn TypeScript when vanilla JavaScript will suffice. I’m wary of picking up the “hot” new frameworks because they haven’t stood the test of time and may get deprecated/irrelevant.

Basically, I want to have a flexible and minimalist stack, but also with a good balance of features (i.e. not just a static HTML site).

Any ideas?

I'd say react.js. It has been proven to be a good choice for all kind of web applications (small, large) and even static web sites (https://www.gatsbyjs.org/, https://github.com/nozzle/react-static). Also it has an awesome community and awesome tooling (create-react-app), which allow you not to bother with "framework/library/build tool/transpiling hell".

You can also check vue.js, I have heard from many people that it's very good and some even say that it is better and easier to get started with than react :) I've never worked with it so I can't say much about it

Thanks, I keep hearing great things about React, not to mention the added bonus of React Native. I’ll look into it further.
