In 2006, tech decisions were easy: shall I use jQuery or Prototype.js? PHP or ASP? Postgres or MySQL?

Nowadays, after the long decision process to go serverless I choose Cloudflare from the 13 best serverless frameworks and VueJS from the 30 frameworks they support.

So I choose SPA from the four ways to deploy VueJS. I chose TS over JS. SFCs thank you very much. Setup syntax please! Composition over options all the way.

I'm in the promised land! Types! Components! No server admin! No DB admin! Let's actually make something!

Trouble is, 18 months down the line, the commercial charts library I wanted to use is pretty much unusable with this setup. I've been through about eight dropdown menu libraries. How many person-hours were wasted with abandoned vuejs dropdown menus I wonder!?

It's been easier to write a desktop application to do the same thing in about two months.
