I think 95% of technologies in IT are moving very quickly but if you focus on the 5% remaining you can keep uptodate for 20 years with the same technology. By exemple, if you learnt Java in 2000, you are still very relevant today. But if you learnt the "new" and trendy Javascript front framework 5 years ago, it's actually pretty useless. So I think that a lot of technology are popular only because they are cool to use and seem to solve problems, but in the long term they are not so good. And a few technologies seems to be difficult or obfuscated but in the long term they are very good problem solver and their popularity grows slowly but surely.
Very few are cool and efficient and are popular from the very begining for years.
