MODERATORS
One of the reason I hated JS ecosystem is because how quickly it has been changing. You mastered one way of creating website called X and 3 years later cool kids are already using completely different stack of tools. Constant re-learning of how to do the same thing you've been always doing.
Is it bad that we finally settle on one framework? Can we finally recognise web as mature platform and focus on creating useful stuff instead of reinventing a wheel?
These are all very good points, and there is in value of having a common framework for front-end development. However, I would argue React isn't always the right tool for the job, yet it has become the dominant framework, and that dominance is being further bolstered because of generative AI.
So even if a better framework came along, and ideally one that's not owned by Meta, it would be very difficult for it to take hold because of this.
