This is an incredibly common stance, and it's also very obviously problematic. No one is saying that your experience in software is invalid or that you're wrong about "these modern frameworks" having been wrong in their time. However, if you aren't yourself working as a frontend developer in a modern startup-ey development environment, you aren't in a position to make so many assumptions about the problems such developers do or do not have. Surely, as professionals and adults, we can all appreciate that we are each dealing with problems in the world for which people believe we deserve to be paid. We all take what we do seriously, and are trying to build the best tools we can to do the best work possible. Even if something comes in as a fad, what good is it to bawk at a perfectly valuable learning experience?
