Being too eager to dismiss a technology and move on is just as much of a bandwagon-jump as being too eager to adopt it in the first place.
The Gartner Hype Cycle[1] has both a 'peak of inflated expectations' and a 'trough of disillusionment'.
The thing a lot of tech cynics fail to spot is that both of them are wrong about the long term value of the technology.
The 'plateau of productivity' awaits, where graphql, nosql, serverless, and SPAs will join every other technology, finding productive use in their appropriate niche.

I keep thinking of the tower of babel. > God was concerned that humans had blasphemed by building the tower to avoid a second flood so God brought into existence multiple languages. Thus, humans were divided into linguistic groups, unable to understand one another. see? Now you can be wrong with the rest of us :)
