The thing with web-development is that you don’t actually have to follow the trends to be productive. A few years ago I read an article on LinkedIn, about how a local development company he helped our neighbouring municipality switch from ASP Web-Forms to the first version of AngularJS and Web-API because it was a more modern tech that would make them future proof, especially in regards of hiring. I laughed at it at the time, and sure enough, they’re in trouble now because AngularJS didn’t actually stick around for long enough for anyone to really learn it. Where as the newest versions of ASP .Net Core are actually being build in a format that is extremely similar to ASP web-forms. I’d like to say that I don’t think you should actually use ASP web-forms if you can avoid it, because it is dated, but it still runs half the internet in my region of the world and it’ll probably continue to outlive a lot of trendy techs for the foreseeable future. Our goal is that if something changes radically every few years, then it’s not really worth adopting to our generalist stack, because we can’t afford to waste resources re-learning React or Angular or X every two years.
