You are probably just experiencing change aversion, also known as "getting older". It's normal to have these feelings.
There were people who programmed in assembly and hated compilers and C. There were people who programmed in C and hated Perl. There were people who programmed in Perl and hated PHP. There were people who programmed in PHP and hated Ruby. There were people who programmed in Ruby and hated that JavaScript suddenly was a "real" programming language.
You'll probably be able to find work in your language/framework of choice for a long time, although as time progresses it will be less "hip startup" and more "enterprise" (look at C#/ASP.NET) and "banks" (look at COBOL).
- scaryspooky 10y ago> also known as "getting older" I disagree with that. It's not about age, it's about experience. React is essentially reimplementing ideas from the past on a new platform. I think it's more skepticism that React is 'it' as the next big UI view layer. The tolerance for bull goes down as you age, and sometimes the next big thing is just a different way of polishing the same ideas from 20 or 30 years ago.
