> Where are the open source folks in Node.js producing equivalents of WordPress and Magento and Drupal?
I can't speak for the community at large, but I specifically switched from large opinionated frameworks to Node.js/TypeScript and a carefully selected stack and modules. Once you reach a certain level of complexity, these frameworks start to get in the way. For me, Node.js/TypeScript gives me type safety, easy refactors, an ergonomic language, and a large community.
On the other hand, if you have to churn out projects for clients, a rigid opinionated framework is probably more appropriate as it makes project handover easy and cuts down on decision fatigue.
