@lritter Doesn't matter, it's just a snowballing effect that occurs once poularity exceeds a threshold, like a runaway cascade. Initial reasons for popularity are divorced from this.

@lritter Obviously there are also other reasons like the initial frameworks having issues that weren't considered at the time, but non the less, I do feel that the resistance to learning yet more crap drives people to do their own thing.

@toerror but anything that's popular is regurgitated a lot. it's not particular to software. also, with "remembering well" i meant the source code, not the frontend. following your understanding, everyone would make their own programming language.
