I agree, it should be fairly simple to weed out what new frameworks actually improve on old ideas and make software easier/faster/better. I definitely think React is one such example in the front-end world. It fixes so many of the horrible patterns that came before it.

Think you meant to say Javascript front-end world, and yes I'd agree then. Yet many of it's patterns are rehashing of previous front end patterns - it's very similar to e.g. Winforms in a lot of ways. Conflating Javascript front end to front end in general is just an example of the myopic short sighted focus of the overall Javascript community, that caused them to miss out on the pre-existing body of knowledge in other languages for as long as it did..
