The frontend landscape has actually been relatively stable over the last 2 years or so, with no major new contender coming up because things on the table now are all very mature. I don't foresee this to change any time soon with React and Vue, both really robust and complete, covering up two extremes of the spectrum.

The fact these recurring shitposts always began their rants with how freaking fast things are moving (in the speed they perceived) and that they couldn't keep it up strongly suggested that they're outta the loop for a long time or they aren't good frontends in the first place. It's also really harmful to the industry; I've seen a few frontend wannabes backing out because of all these uncalled for FUDs creating mental barriers for newcomers while I've repetitively tried to assure them it's really not that unstable in recent years.
