Surprised sailsjs hasn't been mentioned in this thread (and/or seems to have faded in popularity?) Seems like if you go back in time maybe 7 years or so it had a hot moment where it looked like it might become the rails / django / spring of the js world, and then felt like poof it was no longer a major part of the conversation.
Yes, I only focused on the top five frameworks :)
I just checked and Sails, once on place five, fell out of the named ranking in 2019

I don't blame you a bit, you've got to make the scope of your writing relevant to the audience and the moment... just more surprised that Sails seemed to have its moment and then disappear just as quickly, especially given the chat in a thread like this one on HN where there are apparently many people curious if not outright looking for a full-stack js framework.
I attempted to start a (personal, but with commercial aims) project using Nuxt about three weeks ago, as I'd had good experiences with it in the past. It's not been at all fun - whereas with Nuxt2 it felt like I could get up and working quickly, it's been weeks worth of playing whack-a-mole fixing errors. Settled back to Vue3 and got up and running in a few hours.
Sveltekit certainly looks interesting. I've tried to get excited about React / Nextjs in the past, but while the concept feels solid, I guess I've always felt like Vue was a better implementation of the concept.
