I would say yes, I would also question the learning curve argument I hear a lot a little bit.
I’ve been doing Angular 2+ and VueJS development for a couple years now, and I haven’t found anything that Angular can’t do that I can in Vue, but I’ve found a few things that I can do in Angular and not Vue.

As far as learning curve, I think if you have experience with programming language other than just Javascript, Angular is fairly easy to pick up. The issue isn’t Angular vs Vue, it’s Javascript vs Typescript. Typescript works as a more standard Object Oriented programming language with types, etc. There’s a lot of benefit there. Javascript, bless its heart, is basically a prototyping language. So if you’ve been doing only web development in your career, which means you’ve probably been solely working in Javascript, Vuejs, which doesn’t force you to use Typscript, is going to be quicker to pick up. I think that’s where the learning curve really is here.

^ This … and it applies not only to front-end but also back-end.

It becomes tiring needing to hire people for specific frameworks because companies use them ( hype of the month ), then they lose the developers and have a hard time finding replacements. Because hey, why spend time teaching somebody that framework, lets hire somebody that know it. O … we can not find somebody ( withing a reasonable price ).

Its the same for use developers who are job hunting. Instead of knowing the basic xxx language as a senior, no, your expected to know dozen of frameworks ( flavor of the month ) like a pro, maybe some other front-end technologies ( flavor of the month ) on top, a few different design patterns ( flavor of the month ) and lets not forget some SCRUM, Agile or whatever is the new flavor of the month pattern.

So fed up with it all. It sucks the fun out of the jobs.

How about we keep things KISS …The web has been developed upon a simply system of rendering webpages on the server end.

Now we are moving logic and functionality on the front end, devices the application developer does not control.

Where we had one job, now its two jobs. I have nothing against having some dynamic responses on the front end but most websites can simply render html webpages with some jquery, instead of going full blown MVC style setups.

The company i work for got into major trouble because one of the developers decided on building a complex application very front heavy in Angular. When he quit, then came the issues of not finding people. When we stayed with basic HTML + maybe some Jquery or other simple JS, we will have finished the project ages ago.

Its tiring with people reinventing the wheel and other pay the price for it. This also applies to back-end technologies like PHP and the hundreds of frameworks, or other languages.

Where are the times people simply know there basic languages and quickly can put together the tools and function they need, instead of always running to massive overblown frameworks.

^this. ^this ^this. I wish new people coming to web dev would at least take the time to learn and understand the benefits of proper server side templating and caching.
