I started web development 6 years ago back when I was learning PHP.
Since then I've ditched many tools and technologies for better alternatives. Some of them I can remember are:
notepad++ > brackets > atom > VSCode
Left npp when I came to know about brackets. but brackets too couldn't keep up with rise of atom. atom is too buggy and slow nowadays so VSCode for life.
Xampp on windows > NGINX, PHP, MySql setup on local Ubuntu server
Best decision of my life.
Bootstrap > Materialize > Own CSS reset and utility file.
CSS libraries are bloat.

jQuery > vanilla JS
youmightnotneedjquery.com/
Windows 7 > Windows 10 > Ubuntu > Manjaro
F**k Windows! Seriously.
PHP > Node.js
PHP is just over complicated.
MySql > MongoDB
MongoDB is a NoSQL database that stores data as JSON-like documents. This works really well with Node.js
Wordpress > Custom CMS / any static site generator.
Wordpress is just too heavy and overkill for most cases and I don't like PHP anyways.
Google Drive > GItHub
No explainition needed
bash > zsh
like bash, zsh is a also a UNIX shell but offers more customization/theming options and git integration.
Shitty laptop > somewhat OK desktop.
Hotel > Trivago
