For those that are using open source js software to build web applications and are able to pick apart and understand what each tool does, his choice of tools are actually tried and true.

Even a C# developer building with aspnet has to reach out to many of these tools: grafana, some hosting service, some log/error monitoring tool.

But at the same time, I think a lot of comments here are pointing at the glaring reminder of how obscenely complex development for the web can be in the JS ecosystem (for new or non-js devs). Why point new engs to remix, prisma, mailgun, insert 3rd party tool when it’s so much better to give them the Ruby on Rails approach? Aspnet, Ruby on Rails, and similar frameworks in all languages including JS frameworks incorporate nearly all the tools mentioned but without requiring someone to wire it up themselves (or to understand the wiring).
