Except the cool new thing is still React, and we're all still here.
Folks are building products with great UX -> Clients use these products, want the same thing in their products -> Demand for frontend increases, repeat.

In practise this rarely is the case. I have yet to use a React app that consistently respects Cmd+click as my intent to open something in a new tab, has sub-100ms draw times for any UI action, and doesn't need to load multiple megabytes of JS to bog down my CPU for basic CRUD stuff.
But users demand them anyway on the web so here were are.
- Respect the UI conventions of web browsers and not override standard behavior
- Respond immediately to user input
- Not take up hundreds of megabytes of RAM
I have yet to use a React app that doesn't immediately "feel" like it's using React. There's some weird added latency that I can't really describe, but I don't feel it on Angular apps.
