Frameworks aren't "solved", but React (for example) is big enough that pretty much all common problems have already been solved and can be easily found with a search engine.
Sure, but you can say the same about Ruby on Rails… but for some reason, Ruby is on the list of ‘never use’ languages

Rails was the shit for the longest time, it was one of the first "magic" languages where you could just do stuff and MAGIC made it work.
It just somehow fell behind on the hype curve, mostly because Ruby itself wasn't used for anything else than Rails. Python took its spot in most general use cases.
When I started the main project I am still maintaining, react wasn't even around yet. It started only 9 years ago, which might seem like a long time to some younger folks, but feels like yesterday to me.
Are you suggesting that languages and frameworks are 'solved' now? That we won't get a new react that changes the ecosystem? How will a new language or framework that makes things easier ever come about if everyone follows your advice?
