What I hate is exactly what you mentioned. There's a whole ecosystem of bad frameworks and your job is to find the least bad one. For me it's react/typescript/webpack etc. it took me so long to hack it together. I think I may have actually cried at one point.

Oh, yes. Nobody loves that. But these days TSC/esbuild are working decently. And nextjs took away a lot of this pain as well for the frontends

So glad it's not just me. I've programmed for decades, and the only programming language that I can remember making me legit feel like shedding tears and giving up is JavaScript.
