For context I'm someone who spent nearly 20 years doing almost exclusively python dev, attended the first DjangoCon in 2008, ran the Django community blog during its formation heyday back in the mid 2000's and built tons of Django modules, apps, sites etc, have commits on the Project from way-back, tech edited Django books, etc...

Did rails for a short while in 2010-2012 and absolutely hated it then spent 2012-2020 doing mostly Python/Flask dev for huge fintech companies on AWS.

I now use Javascript/React/Nextjs on Firebase/Google Cloud. So much less hassle, tons more libraries and what seems like an exponentially larger ecosystem. There's still weird shit with transpiling typescript to javascript etc... but overall I enjoy JS dev much more these days.
