I can't even keep up with what's been around for years, so that doesn't leave much time, energy and brain cells for hype.

When the time comes that I need something to do "X", then I look at what's available. Some of the many criteria are whether it's gained widespread acceptance (usually meaning it's easier to get help and the technology is more likely to be actively maintained) and what kind of ecosystem they have (if applicable). Something too "new" is not likely to have that, no matter how hyped.

Alright, how many frameworks came out while I was typing this comment? :D
