> Every time JavaScript goes through a major update, we seem to repeat the same cycle. At first, developers are delighted by the new features. They move back to coding directly in JavaScript, and frameworks become less popular. Then, in the relatively long periods between releases, frameworks begin to offer new features and tempt developers back. Repeat.
The other commenters are covering this a bit already, but even the first paragraph just isn’t a true statement at all. Projects don’t suddenly abandon frameworks and rewrite their frontend stack whenever new ES syntax gets released. That’d be incredibly counterproductive.
