no hard data admittedly. i regularly attend tech meetups in hong
kong. at these gatherings, the general sentiment from frontend
developers is that creating webapps has gotten considerably more
difficult with the newish technologies. even the local presenters for
react and angular2+ at these talks can’t hide their lack of enthusiasm
for these frameworks (like they’re doing it mainly to hustle more
side-business for themselves). on-the-job, we all generally try to
avoid taking on such technical risks, until we are inevitably asked to
by our manager. the ones i see who are enthusiastic are typically
non-frontend-engineers who write mostly backend nodejs code, that
isn’t all that more scalable or interesting with what you can do in
java/c#/ruby.
I think this is mixing up frameworks with the language. There is indeed
extreme framework fatigue, and has been for quite some time. Language
changes have been much slower and mind-bending, and it is my
(uninformed) impression that people generally haven't had too much
difficulty incorporating them. Or at least, not nearly as much as
learning the mindset of eg React or Flux or Angular or whatever. And
there seems to usually be a sense of relief when something gets added to
the language that removes the need for the workarounds that the
libraries and frameworks have been using for some time.
