I forget "JS and the web" all the time because I've been actively avoiding it for the past 20 years. It happens in other environments but the web seems to encourage "following the trend" and that would make me crazy if I had to do this every day.

I haven't seen good teams do that - there's reliable options even in the pretty crazy JS/web ecosystem. What it does have is a ton of junior devs and a lot of people pushing their open core startups or celebrity status with new libraries and tools where they could have contributed to something existing instead. There's more bad devs and more noise, but there absolutely is enough good people and good stuff to build solid software. Just have to get used to the noise I suppose.
Don't follow trend. JS and Web is bad may be bad. But building interface is not.
