As a senior full-stack dev currently in a back-end position, I've grown into the (semi-serious) opinion that a large number of web-devs have their jobs just because of the sheer amount of bikeshedding[0] that occurs around front-end code, frameworks, and UI/UX. Companies wouldn't need bloated front-end teams if they weren't constantly rewriting their webpages/apps to catch the latest trends. That said, I've never been the type of guy you should be asking about what's cool or trendy, so maybe I'm just out of touch.
