After looking for enough time, it may be worth it to make some compromises, pick one and try building your application with it.

You may never find “the” framework.

Lately my default has been AspNet Core and C# (or F# if I’m feeling frisky). Not because it’s the ultimate framework for me (although it _is_ very good), but it’s what I learned, thanks to learning on the job.

I remain a microsoft skeptic though. I continue to dabble in other tooling just in case they lock down the framework or tools in the future. I like django, for example.
