PHP / Symfony.

It has Auth, Templating, ORM, Email, Caching, Forms, Validations.

For frontend I like Bootstrap or Tailwind as a base, but for interactivity I use a combination of htmx and Alpine.js, so everything's pretty light-weight.

In the frontend world, I started reducing my reliance on it. I started quite a while ago and had went through jQuery, jQuery UI, bower, gulp, grunt, AngularJS, then the completely rewritten Angular 2+, Vue.js, npm, yarn 1, yarn 2, yarn 3, webpack, rollup, Parcel.js (which I like)...

It was too much for me to keep up. So I stuck with Symfony and try to keep the frontend light-weight.
