I know several people who got burn out working in the js ecosystem and who went to php instead. Finally things are quiet, stable and fast. Older people I know don't really care (I worked with IBM software in the 80s/90s, talking about slow and bloated), but the younger ones get very upset with the churn, bloat, overhead, etc.
I work in an innovation team in a tech company, we are free to choose our own stacks. I went for Laravel, one of the other engineering leads, RoR fan, went for NextJS. One of us is very happy with their batteries included stack, the other keeps telling me how much they miss RoR.
