It depends on the complexity of the project. I assumed something nontrivial, like this project. I outlined some thoughts on the effects of consistent development and what the project might become in a comment above (current state vs. becoming a go-to visualization tool in the field for years to come). Regarding the JavaScript ecosystem—I never mentioned it. Replacing one tool with another has nothing to do with the evolution of a single project.
