"Flavour of the month" might be a bit harsh. It certainly is popular these days, so it's not wholly inappropriate. But it's worth noting JSON/REST is popular with, and largely because of, people who've learned the painful lessons of earlier messes like SOAP.
It's not (just) a hot new thing used by new faces who've never really known any other way.
