The nice thing about the current situation is, if you want to you can still use jQuery, basic CSS & HTML5 and ECMA sub version 6 for 99% of all sites that exist and are likely to exist. That will remain true for the next decade at least.
Most sites are not applications and never will be. Most businesses will never need a complicated site. Most of the Web has zero beneficial use for React or ECMA 6. Factually that's easily demonstrated just by looking at data compilations of what the Web largely consists of: static content, typically pushed out into the world via a basic CMS. That isn't going to change. Most of what's going on is an evolution in the top tiers, up the value chain. Facebook & Co have dramatically greater technology demands than Joe Small Business or Susan the blogger.
