I have been thinking about this lately. Why do people think it is a good idea to give you a "menu" sort of thing for the technologies you'll use? I find the MERN and variants ones particularly disturbing since they use NoSQL. NoSQL storage is great, but is not for everything. If anything, I bet only the minority of projects require NoSQL and would benefit more from a relational storage.
So guys, tell me: What's this need from people to try to tell you "this or that combination is the winning combo"? I'm not here to buy combos, I'm here to pick the right tool for the job.
I hear you.

In my opinion, that's just one of routes. Let's say, if you're playing a RPG, there might be many options that your character can take. Players would try to find best options to upgrade their characters and it would save others' time. They learn from them and study basis of the game system, then will find their own way. They will know how to upgrade each character for the best.
Ok, I get the point you're making. But then why do I hear MongoDB the most? I, personally haven't heard of a single stack with MariaDB, or MySQL or PostreSQL. Always MongoDB. I don't get this part because in my experience, NoSQL does not dominate the commonplace. So shouldn't a stack with a relational DB be the most popular of them all?
Hm... I think, one of the reasons might be that they and usage of them looks similar each other. In the real world, that must be different depending on project's purpose though.
Developers has been increasing massively. The way I saw it, there were React, Node.js in the center. You learn
jsand you can develop frontend, backend, mobile, pc, e.t.c with only one language. AndMongoDB, I think it can be looked similar to them.And
MERNstack. It sounds cool, isn't it? It might be able to sound attractive andlots of courses migth've gave advantage of it. But It's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
