The wars are over, the component abstraction won. Angular, React, VueJS and Svelte all begin squarely with the UI component. They only differ in their syntax and structure for wrapping up CSS, HTML, and JS/TS into a unit.
Also this is just my own observation, your mileage may vary, but when back end teams are tasked with upgrading front end tech they pick Angular, and when experienced front end guys are given a project for a tech refresh/rewrite they go with React.
Most build tool arguments IMHO are weeds. Core is having a goal - something you need to get working on a deadline. That tends to be a great weedkiller.
I did this during the Covid lock down for about 7 months. My target environment was the western USA. Optimizing the uncertainties and necessities led to the mode of a single hotel m-f and moving on during the weekends. It was simplest, lowest capital investment, highest flexibility.
The big downside was overall loneliness and lack of connection - but it is hard to tease out how much of that was Covid. It was no more or less isolating than the first months of covid when I stayed put.
The planned plus was seeing places I always wanted to see. That worked out fine. It was the unplanned sights that make up most of my stories - sunset over the Sangre de Cristo while gloom rises out of the plains, freezing fog, driving into a white out in Santa Fe and many more.
The final result was the most surprising. I moved back to my hometown that I left decades ago. Having followed my whims I like now a reestablished home base, from which I can depart again for any period at any time.
