You either waste your time updating daily or you rewrite from scratch every 3 years. JS is what happens when you let the inmates run the asylum.

In my experience (~10 years of front end stuffs), the rewrite will happen either way. Code rot, sweeping redesigns, obsolescense, or over-eager consultants will trigger a full front-end rewrite / re-architecture every ~5-10 years.

Yes, but that's 2 to 3 times slower than what happens if you let the code rot.
