Depends on the app.
Probably Laravel with Livewire and Lit for creating interactive widgets. Postgres for the db.

#12I might be the only one in here with an answer like this, but PowerShell and the Pode framework. I am super productive with it, as much so as in any other language, and it plays nice with the rest of my stack (Tailwind, HTMX, SQLite.) I can leverage the .NET framework and C# libraries when I need to and can iterate quickly. All of this runs on the latest version of Ubuntu LTS. Obviously, this won’t work for everyone but for my purposes I haven’t been able to beat it and it makes me happy.

#13Rails. It's all about developer comfort. ruby as a language is a delight to work with. Rails as a framework has all the features I need and then some more. Postgres as the database of course!
What would you use for the FE?

#14Elixir, Phoenix (with Ecto and Postres), LiveView.
Functional programming, pattern matching, and immutability make life a lot easier.

#15Next.js. I consider it the industry standard
"I consider" and "industry standard" seems weird and incompatible haha.

#16LAMP.
It can easily be maintained by a single developer. Scales well enough for a decent number of users. Huge ecosystem of components. Easy to deploy to literally any web host. Wide variety of front-end systems.
If you need to scale, it can do that. Developers for it are plentiful. But you can always rewrite it in the flavour-of-the-month framework when you hit either scale or money.
