Though I can't develop beautiful UI and good UX even if my life depended on it. I can write a functional front-end, but don't expect it to be pretty. I usually ask for assistance regarding that from our UX designers instead where they essentially layout the whole UI (either on figma or Photoshop) so I just need to make it functional. Component based frameworks these days (JS, and Blazor) really helps at least. The UX guys usually make sharable base components that the company needs (buttons, grids, etc...), which includes all the styling and animations and we use those instead to create decent looking UI. For personal stuff I use MudBlazor which kinda does the same, but I do know a bit of css to customize when needed.
I definitely fall into the MVC JQuery stack. I've worked on old ASP.NET Webforms and MVC with .NET Framework and now .NET core 3.1 (and some .NET 5). I love backend and are very good at it (12 years working professionally) and when it comes to frontend I know both CSS and JQuery very well making it really easy and fast for me to do stuff. I know all about the hate-train for JQuery, but whenever I do some regular JS all I can think about is "I would be done with this in JQuery already".
For anything new, I prefer to keep my deployments as simple as possible, so I've been sticking with just Razor Pages where I can. I've been investigating HTMX for a while now to try to achieve that SPA feel without having actually go down that rabbit hole.
