> You're just trading doing stuff in the frontend for doing stuff in the frontend + backend. Might make sense in a lot of cases, while not making sense in other cases.

For me I can now do everything in the backend, I don't need to switch context (Twig templating language vs. JavaScript / SPA / etc). It's now easier to just keep up to date with PHP / Symfony, instead of also updating Node, npm / yarn, node_modules, and keeping up to date with everything.

Otherwise the frontend part is messy and not so great code, since my JS skills are limited and it's too stressful for me to keep up to date with in addition to PHP / Symfony (I had worked with AngularJS 1, Angular 2-8, Vue 2, some React, played around with Svelte, managing stuff via bower, gulp, grunt, Webpack, parcel, npm, yarn 1/2/3, Node 10-18, nvm, corepack; and if I kept up, I probably need to look at bun soon).
