Not sure what you mean. React is 5 years old. Frontend development is more volatile by nature as devices changes, UX guidelines change, etc but overall React was very stable during these years.

But even Java changed A LOT in 5 years...

You always have to keep up as a developer.

And honestly, you don't really have to keep up with the latest version of React. We're still on 15.4 – almost 2 years old! Works great for us.

Out of curiosity, anything preventing you from upgrading to 16.x ?

We're running a startup and upgrading React just isn't a priority.
