The benefits of naming stacks like LAMP and MEAN/MERN was coupling technologies that intrinsically work well together, where swapping out one would meaningfully change the whole system. LAMP without PHP would be unrecognisable, MEAN without MongoDB would feel completely different to develop for.
There’s almost nothing about the Epic stack from what I can see that wouldn’t feel roughly the same if replaced. Swap Tailwind for a different CSS framework and… it’s basically the same. Use a different validation library and it’s still the same. There are pairings within the list that complement each other relatively well, but none that are make or break in the same way as LAMP/MEAN/etc.
These stacks were useful in understanding values in an acronym, but here that requires a full blog post to lay out principles making it less memorable and, I suspect, less impactful as a result.
