Any thoughts? Aren't we in some sort of limbo?

What JS frameworks fail at that makes the new ones being developed so often?

I feel like it's all preference based. If someone doesn't like a specific part of a framework they will make one which makes what annoyed them better while keeping what they liked. That's how the majority were made.
Yeah, it makes sense. But It also feels like framework creators address the same problem in a very similar way all over again but in a different flavour. There are obviously big movements like introduction of V-DOM-based reactivity, and then moving away from it towards build-time DOM diffing. These are totally reasonable because they focus on things like maintainability and performance. But apart from those, maybe JS frameworks are a bit too much opinionated. And at some point, while their communities are developing in kind of bubbles, they start solving less fundamental problems in favour of the style preference.
