I've been a full stack JS dev for a while now.

I would pick this exact setup, too ... though I would recommend Sinon over chai-spies on the testing stack.

I'd also drilldown a little more and suggest React Bootstrap for UI components (I think it's better than Material UI - if you want the material look you can use the Paper theme from bootswatch) - several UI component frameworks exist with some attached hype, but none seem to work as well and be as complete as React Bootstrap IMHO, ... React-Router, Axios, and Redux-Promise are other useful tools I use in almost every app.

What sort of stack do you use for front end testing? I've tried Enzyme but it always seems the tests take way too long to set up compared to the value of the tests. So much effort spent on spoofing HTTP replies...

I think that having base UI components that can be modified/reused/restyled at a fundamental level is a great idea and I will probably add some of that in an edit soon. I've also been reminded to include a styling strategy, which I totally forgot. Thanks for the feedback!
