Change my mind, but modern JS frameworks aren't just hype. They solve real problems for complex UIs. PHP's great for some stuff, but try building a snappy SPA with it.
Usually I've found the person who derides modern JS frameworks and champions xyz is usually of the type that hates SPAs.

But unfortunately they're oftentimes also the type that believes that if they don't personally like something then no one else should like it, and if they do then they're wrong.
