Why Is Front-End Development So Unstable?
It&#x27;s also very unstable and young because requirements keep moving, and developers keep figuring out more &#x27;auto-magic&#x27; and simply better ways of implementing UIs.<p>UI used to be simple, a page, a few links, click through to other pages. Then we needed templated pages, because we had a lot of pages.<p>Then full blown &#x27;applications&#x27; were ported to the web, and life was a nightmare of double-headed dragons and dark holes with pikes. Jquery provided some help here but it was more in terms of nuts and bolts, than as an architecture.<p>Then came all the MVC libs which really helped enforcing a structure for large apps.<p>Then came Angular and all of its madness, but a positive step ahead, giving us usable SPA.<p>React brought some sanity back and now Vue (in my opinion, don&#x27;t shoot) brings the sanest&#x2F;cleanest way forward.<p>My guess is what we do on the web will change once again, in a few years, and we will throw all that out and start again with new framework. Whether it will be in AR or still on the web, there are still many problems to solve.<p>E.g. the whole &#x27;responsive&#x27; thing.
