To me, it is not at all alarming. But it might be due to my inexperience in dealing with truly huge code bases.

No matter what framework, in the end it's all JavaScript. So even if I develop a flashy app using a nice fat framework, it is still going to run unless JavaScript itself is changed.

That said, I can build an app in Angular today, and when something flashier comes out, I can code new features/modules to my app using that.

I think the main problem is about fixes. Invariably, something is going to go wrong in the future with whatever framework you use. Either security related or else. Then your version of {{framework}} won't be supported anymore and you'll have to:

   - fix it yourself
   - give up: turn off your app
   - ignore: let people deal with the issue/be vulnerable
If your version of {{framework}} is supported, likely all you'll have to do is wait for a patch.
