That's a good thing? Keeps things fresh and keeps established "norms" unable to stay complacent.


Actually it tells me that the javascript ecosystem fails to build software that can adapt to change. The culture is to throw everything out and start fresh every time they want to do something different. It's terrible engineering.


Thankfully that's just your opinion. I appreciate all the innovation and experimentation that's happening. Nobody is dictating you or anyone else use these tools.


It's not an opinion. It's common sense. Do you think Rust or Swift would exist if LLVM would have stopped its development long ago in favour of <insert new exiting tool>?

Not only in software, if we keep renewing rather than perfecting software, we won't go anywhere.


My opinion based on decades of experience in web development. I've been through this churn dozens of times, it is tiring. The other ecosystems I work with do not work this way and yet they still innovate a lot.
