It's grand pronouncements like that that epitomize amateurishness. I am so sick of seeing people complain about how things are being X years ago, as if old techniques somehow magically become invalid. Maybe they seem so bad because the practitioner sucked at that time.

React doesn't really respect separation of concerns, and it's rare to find an SPA (and now, desktop apps -- thanks Electron!) that isn't complete garbage. Disciplined approach with battle-tested techniques creates much higher-quality software, every time.

Also, "paradigm shift" is nonsense. The web is a platform -- fetishizing specific tools and techniques is foolish. There are many ways to skin a cat.

You're right! I'm sure there's plenty of high-grade apps still out there that are built on jQuery plugin spaghetti code. No problem with that at all. No reason to criticize that either in any way shape or form. jQuery spaghetti is still a perfectly delicious way to enjoy a web app. Who doesn't love spaghetti?
