I know, I've had to revive and make small changes to an old Angular project myself. Which is my point.

If the underlying technology hasn't really changed, why constantly break the tooling and compatibility in general?

This collective lack of discipline is exactly why I don't work in FE. It's just tiresome for no actual reason.

I also haven’t seen it in any other place. Game dev and backend which I’ve worked in uses the same technologies for decades. It’s like someone trying to write a book but instead of writing a new chapter each month they mess about with their ink choice and their font choice and their paper roughness and get very little actual progress
