Both React and Vue are older than 10 years old at this point. Both are older than jQuery was when they were released, and both have a better backward compatibility story. The only two real competitors not that far behind. It's about time for this crappy frontend meme to die.

Even SOAP didn't really live that long before it started getting abandoned en masse for REST.

As someone who was there in the "last 12 months" Joel mentions, what happened in enterprise is like a different planet altogether. Some of this technology had a completely different level of complexity that to this day I am not able to grasp, and the hype was totally unwarranted, unlike actual useful tech like React and Vue (or, out of that list, Java and .NET).
