I think you mentioned all the old stacks. In 2025 you will want to use Tailwind CSS and not Bootstrap. You will want to use NextJS or Cursor and not VSC. Definitely AI and AI Agents like Bolt.new or v0.dev for fast development. Your list is very outdated.

jQuery for 2025?! Probably not. Most of that stuff became standardized in ES6. Now HTMX or alpineJS that would be something for 2025. But hey, whatever gets the job done I guess. Thanks for your take.

@dev-i-am Same for those as well. I never used Bootstrap myself. When it was released, I was already heavily focused on creating custom components with CSS and JavaScript, and I later transitioned to Tailwind CSS and I am now considering transitioning to styleX. As for SaaS, there are just too many options out there to settle on one. At our company, we specialize in creating custom software solutions for small businesses, such as POS systems and CRMs. Our main site, launching this summer, is built on a custom CMS using a microservice infrastructure.
