The server side changes I'm not too thrilled about javascript making it's way to server side when so many wheels exist already in form of php, java, python. The client side I've set by on the bench while I continued to hack with jQuery but now it's ridiculous, just about any development job now requires backbone.js or angularjs of some sort. I've yet to see React appear as often but maybe thats the beginning of another trend. Some shops I've worked with who bet their projects on Javascript Everywhere™ seems to have become more risk averse but it could be just a wishful thinking on my part. What was so bad about Angular 2.0? I don't think I would ever deal with backbone.js because it makes Java Swing seem easy, which is practically whats happening, people trying to replicate desktop apps in a browser with an awful language not originally tasked for the job so they come up with weird freak of nature like Coffeescript.
