Every stack decision is really a maintenance decision. A framework that ships a demo in a weekend but needs a specialist to patch is a liability the moment that specialist is unavailable, and "unavailable" covers a lot of ordinary situations — a holiday, a new job, a different time zone.
The test we apply before choosing anything: can one person deploy it, patch it, back it up, restore it, and debug it at 2am? Complexity that quietly assumes a team is a defect, not sophistication. That test rules out more than it sounds like it does.
It also means the answer is not always the newest thing. Plain HTML and CSS is a legitimate choice for a brochure site. WordPress is a legitimate choice when the client needs to edit everything themselves and already knows it. Next.js earns its place when the project genuinely needs an application, not a document.
What matters is that the reasoning is written down. A stack chosen for a reason can be revisited; a stack chosen by habit just accumulates.
