Righto let's firstly say, html CSS and JavaScript are not being replaced. You gain standardisation which is the true price you pay for vanilla homebrew work. The appeal of creating a standard is so alluring! I learned many years ago to rise above that feeling that I could write a standard, join the community, hire from the community that know this standard. It's often easy to draw conclusions like the masses are attracted to a particular product, so the smaller Indies must be he mark of quality, it's like boutique and the billionaire, you might assume that the little guy cares and the billionaire doesn't... Sometimes yes, but I would wager that engineering at Facebook is full of lots of little guys who don't represent the org as a whole, they have backing which means what was developed must have been impressive?

Yeah, means people who are Hyped for React are mostly beginners and Facebook may be a reason for that but mainly the reason is the hype because most of the beginners want to say that 'yeah I know React' or Vue.js or any .

It is being used not because it should be used but to show 'Yeah! I know it`.

I can't say for anyone but some feelings like this moves in my mind as a beginner.
