1.5 years in and Phoenix Liveview is perfect for internal webapps. Have personally seen development take half as much time with half as much people compared to traditional stacks. You don't need super rich interactions nor offline mode for internal apps, plus they might be harder to prio against customer-facing feature work. Elixir and LiveView are really powerful tools to have in your toolbelt. Even if you can't use Elixir, look at Hotwire or Livewire for a similar programming model. You won't get zero-setup fault tolerant components (nested LiveViews can crash and not take the entire page with it, and retry side effects automatically), but you'll still cut out the JS side of the development.

And we haven't even spoken about an app-aware repl that lets you manipulate/inspect your running app (even in prod). There are so many game-changing layers in this stack. It's hard to beat once you've explored it.

Very happy customer here.
