Yeah I have to say I agree. I think there was valid reasons for some of the framework churn early on (basically no proper standard way to do client side GUI). When the MVC-oriented stuff started to stabilise we all discovered that functional reactive programming UI was a good thing and that drove stuff like React and Angular 2.

But there simply hasn't been a paradigm shift in UI after that (and I doubt there will anytime soon, it's not often a whole new UI paradigm that changes stuff the way MVC and FRP have done is popularised).

Stuff like Vue and Svelte are simply attempts at optimising or improving the reactive approach, but is basically still fundamentally the same idea. Someone versed in React would easily move over.
