After having watched so many frameworks come and go, the pattern I've noticed is that it's not just about hotness. It's that the new ideas that the frameworks provide push everyone else into better directions. Everything becomes familiar. Then someone tries something new. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it promises more than it can deliver. But all the folks who stick with familiar will take the reasons that people leave, and roll their own solutions. Sometimes a fad framework really is a bust, but more often than not, it's always a stepping stone and motivation for every project out there.
