I got into programming while angular 1.x was in its prime, and got onto the new frameworks just as they got going. I can't really discuss RAD or twenty years ago. I do agree with the maintainable remark though. Things seem like they're slowly congealing in the frontend JS world into the new paradigms we've chosen. But I feel like this is only making way for developers to throw their weight at the backend. It wouldn't surprise me if suddenly a GraphQL competitor came out soon, igniting a new flamewar and churn in API design that we'll all have to start dealing with.
