Express is still fine to use. To me it's either express or fastify. A lot of opinions in the JS world.

This. Fastify is so great. Unfortunately, the documentation became worse after v2 because Matteo was too laissez-faire in approving new doc contributions.

Imo the docs need a major re-write, beginning at "getting started". New users don't know whether they should use "fastify-cli gen", "npm init fastify" or copy manually from the "getting started"-guide.

And people also tried to push their fastify-plugins to the top of the plugins-site by adding a "@username" for every plugin: https://i.imgur.com/hHyI6JO.png (left are the old docs, right are the current docs where ppl try to game the system).

Also, fastify-cli needs to rework the custom options in typescript projects imo.

Ok, that's all. Other than that, fastify rocks!
