Next.js + MUI + Vercel, with Jetbrains and Github behind the scenes. Super easy and fast DX. Maybe Astro for simpler projects.
Grew up in the LAMP world and wrote HTML/CSS/JS by hand. Not going back to that.

It varies a lot depending on the project, but generally I'm just using gcc, make, and a text editor. I'll use Eclipse as an IDE for particularly complex projects.
A Linux web server where I write HTML and Javascript and then I check if it works in a web browser.
Flask (Python), FastAPI and htmx. A very capable stack while still be manageable by a solo-developer.
Linux, Python and/or C++, sometimes ncurses.

LAMP. No frameworks, no JavaScript.
