'menace' is a bit too strong of a word. Alternatives for development are a good thing, just look at the native world and the constant innovation that goes on there (go, rust etc).

The web model is completely broken but everyone just keeps on ignoring the root problem and just patch over it with 'innovative' frameworks like angular or react...
