Another library frustration: is there a standard Make-like task runner tool for #Node? 10 years ago Grunt and Gulp were standard for this, but they're horribly out of date now and not compatible with ES6 imports. There are tools in other languages, like go-task, but I can't find anything similar in JS.

Hoo boy am I tired of seeing messages in my browser's JavaScript from some deep transitive dependency of the app I work on, saying "We're about to remove support for <feature that a slightly less nested transitive dependency uses>, sucks to be you."

This whole developer ecosystem is a nightmare of endless compatibility problems, 90% of them trivially avoidable with a moment's thought.

Where the hell do you get started making "modern" UIs with HTML/CSS/JavaScript?

I'm used to writing everything by hand. Now I've got to somehow choose between 4,000 "modern, performant, etc." frameworks. Do I use JavaScript or can I use something better like TypeScript? Which of the 30 different "modern, perfromant, etc." build systems do I use?

How many million NPM packages are each of these going to require?
