-Symfony ships with a pure-JavaScript library - called Webpack Encore - that makes
-it a joy to work with CSS and JavaScript. You can use it, use something else, or
-create static CSS and JS files in your ``public/`` directory directly and
-include them in your templates.
+Introduction
+============
+
+Symfony gives you the flexibility to choose any front-end tools you want. This could
+be dead-simple - like putting CSS & JS directly in the ``public/`` directory - or
+more advanced - like scaffolding your front-end with a tool like Next.js.
+
+However, Symfony *does* come with two powerful option to help you build a modern,
+fast frontend, *and* enjoy the process:
+
+* :ref:`Webpack Encore <frontend-webpack-encore>` is a powerful tool built with Node
+  on top of `Webpack`_ that allows you to write modern CSS & JavaScript and handle
+  things like JSX (React), Vue or TypeScript.
+
+* :ref:`AssetMapper <frontend-asset-mapper>`, is a production-ready simpler alternative
+  to Webpack Encore that runs entirely in PHP. It's currently experimental.

+** Using JSX (React), Vue or TypeScript with AssetMapper is possible, but you'll
+   need to use their native tools for pre-compilation. Also, some features (like
+   Vue single-file components) cannot be compiled down to pure JavaScript that can
+   be executed by a browser.
