> always the latest tech' issue ... rewrote their perfectly fine and fast sites and apps to reactjs ... we don't have 10+ year experience React was open sourced in 2013. It's not that "new" - there are plenty of people who've been using it for 7+ years now. > did a rewrite from php with js/jquery to react The problem isn't the rewrite from php to react (or any x to any y), but the management saying "ok, we need to rewrite this thing in 'y'. You have two days to learn it. And you'd better show 40 productive hours of work on your timesheets in the meanwhile."

Sure, but when we have tech 20 years old we can assume you don't need two days to learn it. 7 years is not that young but it changes way, way too fast. So the react 7 years ago is not the same as today: hell I have nodejs and react stuff that simply doesn't work anymore and is only a few years old. While php/html/css/jquery code written 15+ years ago is fast and robust on the very latest versions. I updated one of my oldest saas app written 17 years ago to the latest php version from apache to nginx and the latest php and it works 100%. That makes me sleep well at night. It has 60000 active users and costs $4/mo to host and has not had downtime in over 10 years. How is this new stuff holding up?

> using it for 7+ years That's not really very long, IMO. There's a huge amount of churn in programming systems these days. Once upon a time, writing compilers and designing languages was something that nerds did for fun and instruction, in their spare time. People didn't get paid to write compilers. Incidentally, I've never heard of "svelte".
