    > Well, yea, but that's the point of my whole comment - Node could have a Django or Rails equivalent after ten years, don't you think?

    It's not that such a thing hasn't been developed, but that by the time such a thing gets developed (for example: [0]), NodeJS devs have already decided they don't like gulp, they like webpack; they don't like AngularJS, they like React (or VueJS now); etc.

    Almost feels like the JS ecosystem is plagued by people who want to rise to dev stardom by making the next big framework, and they spend a LOT of time trying to convince people their thing is the next best thing since sliced bread. I've seen grown up devs abandon stacks that were perfectly fine to spend years migrating to the new thing — granted this happens more at larger companies where resume building sometimes overtakes business needs.
