React will definitely make 10 years. It’s almost at 5...

  As the darling of the tech community? I very much doubt it will make another 5. Everyone I know seems to be starting greenfield projects with Vue. And I would be shocked if there wasn't some revolutionary new thing I've not yet heard of waiting in the wings. I have nothing against React (I use it) but I see no reason to believe it will not follow the lifecycle of every presentation technology that came before. Ten years is a long time. Of course people will be still be using React, but then people are still using GWT today.

    I wouldn’t start a greenfield project with Vue and have no draw toward it. I’d go React. I think React/Vue are the end of the road in terms of JS, Vue for people who think tooling is hard, and React for people who don’t mind the tooling. People attribute the JS presentation library churn to fadism, but I’ve seen it as a response to everything being pretty bad before React. Can’t blame people for desperately trying everything when everything is bad. React was really the first one for JS that really empowered people and every year it gets better. Anyway in the sense that Reactive rendering is apparently a core element of flutter, all I care about is that the future is React-like, and in that sense React will be around for a long time....
