UI wise: React JS with hooks. I can build everything on the webserver side and do everything with Async requests. It's great... as for on the webserver side... let's just say Not Python.

I went from Laravel (PHP) to Symfony (PHP) to Flask (Python), and Django (Python). Django feels the best to build medium-big stuff quickly, but all of the ones mentioned above are decent. Frontend-wise Angular feels too bloated, Vue.js 2 is nice (waiting for v3), but looking into Svelte and feeling excited about it.

CSS I'm comfortable with Bootstrap and Bulma, but want to look into Tailwind for future projects.

C# / WPF. Unfortunately, it's become obsolete (WPF), and M$ is pushing UWP into view. I have lots and lots and lots of issues with that, I could probably write a book on it.

They're working on WinUI 3.0, and that should be the holy grail of UIs (when it comes to C#). I'm pretty skeptical, so we'll see...

1. Ruby on Rails - can prototype very fast SaaS like products while still enjoying the language

2. Elixir with Phoenix - building my first product with it and I like how it pushes me to think more about my code

For web applications: Django. For Linux desktop applications: GTK+. For "portable" desktop applications: Qt (because of its tooling).

As a Rookie: Go without any frameworks. Also very curious about Phoenix/Elixir
