I suppose the analogy in medicine would be to have this "medical hacker" mentality where you just go and do things, all the while learning. First you start with leeches, then you develop your own theory or four humours, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humorism, then you figure out there was this guy called Hippocrates who had lots of great ideas about medicine which you should totally read, but hey, who has the time nowadays, so you just skim through a blogpost with the summary of the most interesting tidbits.
You keep hearing the name "Pasteur" and the "germ theory of disease" which sounds mildly intimidating. Instead, make your own plague doctor mask with a organic herbs as a safekeep. That'll keep the germs away.
People think your plague doctor mask is really cool in instagram and you become moderately famous. People start asking medical advice from you. They keep mentioning something called "vaccines", which sounds really convenient. You read an obscure reference about primitive vaccination to smallpox and decide that's a great idea. You start scratching yourself with random things you find in the street to increase your "resistance" to all ills.
You create a blog around this cool concept of "resistance" and invite other people to scratch themselves. Someone dies from infection and you say they just can't use the tool right....
etc.
I presume the protagonist will eventually reach modern medicine if he's alive still, but it would be so much more convenient for all parties if he had become familiar with established standards before starting to share his ideas with the greater public.
The problem isn't that you have to learn another framework (although it does become a problem when they're all slightly similar and they start to meld together after the umphteenth, not to mention that learning slows down with age). The problem is that each frameworks brings along new edge cases, new problems and forces you to reinvent tools you already had for this new framework. Although learning new shit can be exiting, at some point, you gotta stick to something for a while so you can also actually build a lasting product with it, rather than building a new prototype but never finishing anything because you're distracted by a new shiny.
No one forces you to learn anything new if you don't want to. People aren't stupid, if they invent new something (and pour shit ton of effort into it like with Vue or React) they probably have a good reason to (previous PITA first comes to mind). And anyone's "I don't want to learn" whining is in no way a reason to not invent that new something because that will actually slow down progress of tech field (which we can't have under any circumstance, this is the backbone of my argument). Get your act together or give way to those who will.
Besides, client development is a cutting edge field.
I'm sure glad we're advancing beyond the abstractions we have in, say, Cocoa development (which is evolving as well). Seems incredibly selfish to suggest that everyone is incompetent and nothing new is good because you don't want to have to learn new things.
Yet somehow HNers convince themselves that it's scathing sociotechnological criticism of an ecosystem because we tolerate it for some reason. Meanwhile everyone would roll their eyes if you suggested something like "ugh, Objective-C replaced by Swift is like watching Apple read old books."
