Maybe part of the "JavaScript fatigue" is that, as each shiny new toy rolls in, the ensuing commentary immediately elevates it to The One Solution We've All Been Waiting For --- followed just as quickly by No This Is The Most Flawed Solution Ever They Got It All Wrong And Here's Why....
The reality is that many species can coexist in the same habitat. You don't have to pick just one. Cats don't have pincers, but does that have to mean lobsters are superior? Nope.
- hugozap 11y agoIt's funny how we identify with our tools and some consider them even more important than the actual products being built. Maybe it's a manifestation of the "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" that makes teams jump from a solid and time tested toolchain to a new "cool" framework. The problem with this frequent loop is that a lot of time is wasted learning conventions/syntax/tooling and the lifetime of that knowledge is small.

I just don't see an incentive to move yet, I didn't last year and the way things are going I might not for another year.
