> I wanted to refute the "the constant churn of new frontend frameworks to learn". If you just stuck with React since 2015, they've only had 4 major versions since then and every ver they deprecate only a few things and then you have a full release cycle to migrate to the new hot thing.
Contrast that with non-framework JS/HTML, where _you_ decide how long it lives and how often you need to upgrade (or not). Having to rejigger a web app every 2-3 years because someone outside of your organization changes something is not only unappealing, but it's horribly expensive for large-scale businesses and possibly prohibitively expensive for small-scale businesses or solo developers.
