The kids have a "new tool" every week because the "old tool" from last week has some problem. That's hardly a sign of "just fine". The old tool(s) will actually still work just fine, and plenty of people use them. Kinda like Python 2 and Python 3. You're not forced to use the absolute newest set of packages. I'm not as familiar with Java and Ruby but the I know the C/C++ ecosystem has gone through many changes over the decades. Perhaps the situation with JS is currently overwhelming and maybe it will settle down over time, but I don't think it's a bad thing that lots of people are motivated to keep iterating and improving the tools. Personally I find the JS development experience very smooth and enjoyable, and I know many of the people building all these crazy new things do as well.
