By abandoning React, Vue, and Angular, you're excluding yourself from hiring all the webdevs that need a front-end technology on their resumes in order to get hired elsewhere. That's a pretty large swath. But yes, it's nice that the world is finally realizing Arc was way ahead of its time. HN is snappy because the HTML is small, with few network requests. https://rauchg.com/2014/7-principles-of-rich-web-applications https://rauchg.com/2014/7-principles-of-rich-web-application...

Developers need to be a part of successful projects. Specific tech is less important unless you want/need to go to work for/with people to whom "modern" means fashionable. Which, to be fair, is a larger portion of the industry than most of us care to admit, but then again, React and Vue basics can be learned on side projects. (Angular, less so, though these days I do appreciate it when companies are so kind as to list Angular in their job postings; it's a good heuristic for weeding out based on the probability that there's no one with influence at the organization that thinks about the tools they're using carefully.)

In my area, it doesn’t much matter whether they actually have experience in Vue/React/Angular, all three and more are on their resume anyway and they can easily talk about the technologies. There’s no doubt I have had applicants pass on us because we don’t use one of those frameworks. But there are plenty of other great web devs who do want to work in a reasonable environment and love it. So it’s balanced out. I’d say my greatest selling point for the job is that we deploy all day long to production. Developers love getting features to users.

Used to be a day you could get hired on a C# job with just Java experience, say nothing about the particular libraries you used within those languages.
