I mostly agree, and usually feel like a grouchy old man for it. Been doing FE for a long while, jQuery into stuff like Meteor, then early Angular and Ember... There were a lot of frustrations but I found that they were more easily overcome, and past a certain point I've felt like we aren't getting any more technologically superior with reimagined frameworks, but rather just finding a new flavour of the month.

Conversely, React Native (and other similar solutions, even Electron which I love to hate) are AMAZING and I feel like it's such a breath of fresh air compared to pure native app development. They have their ups and their downs, and they're not always the best solution for a given problem, but they've brought so much opportunity for dev efficiencies within companies and allowed solutions to be built that would've otherwise been cost-ineffective in the past.
