Well that is exactly right. These web frameworks, while they have their uses and have has some improvement on software engineering of web apps and have enabled sone benefits for users … largely the churn of these web frameworks with all these cute names are just reformulating the same technology over and over just with different opinions and aesthetics. People act like “technology changes all the time” but that’s not really what’s happening. We are “rediscovering” things so much in Web dev because we are still fundamentally doing, for the most part, what CGI programs did 30 years ago, pushing text back and forth with http verbs and return codes. Then, we make a huge deal when we get a web app to do something a desktop app could do 10-30+ years before.
