>React has essentially won the mindshare

Casually job hunting right now, and it is insane how much React has won to me. Like I knew it was popular, but it seems like it has an outright monopoly with the remaining 5% of market share being split among all the other alternatives.

I don't know what the actual market shares are, but when looking at open positions around the US from coast to coast, it seems to have won.

React is currently in it's honey-moon phase, but many of its warts are starting to show. It probably has another year or two before peaking, but doubtful that such a large heavy-handed library will remain dominant forever.

Honeymoon phase was like in 2015. Were way past that today.

Also doubtful? What about Java?
