> It's python 2 to python 3 transition all over again, only this time it's in javascript.

That's not fair. Python's 2-to-3 transition is JavaScript's every other Wednesday.

(yes that's a hyperbole, but the churn in the JS ecosystem really is enormous compared to any other programming language).

At the framework level, maybe (but then, it's userland, anything can happen there). At the fundamental level of the language itself, I don't think so.

I don't think it's hyperbole -- I think the changes are often as large and collectively more significant than 2-to-3, but the ecosystem is better at change. Even with that there are clearly factions and currents in different directions, but things generally work.
