Angular feels clean enough, but how do you implement internationalisation properly? How do you switch to angular 2 now that angular 1 is obsolete? Same thing with bootstrap (v2 is largely incompatible with v3 which is mostly incompatible with v4)... Backend is okay; frontend really is a clusterfuck, because it seems all built for short-lived, one shot applications. I build professional applications that have to live and evolve for ages, and I'd rather not rewrite the 80000 LOC of code for every brand new shiny incompatible material design fully reactive 3D enabled VR compatible à la mode fashionable trendy JS+CSS framework that'll be obsoleted in 9 months.

At the moment, I really don't know what to do. Looking at the way people build applications nowadays (does somebody NOT use node.js and npm at some point?) with layers upon layers of languages, frameworks, 4 different module management systems, with READMEs that read like "install the dependancies using "gem install A B C; pip install E F G; npm install X Y Z; go install U V W; cargo install P Q R; then proceed with curl https://github/myshit/install.sh | bash" is really tiring.

Ghaaaaa!
