Anyway, lots of frameworks coming out != progress. Similarly, lack of new frameworks != stagnation. It often implies maturity, especially if the language has undergone a previous period of hype.
Good tech stays around. Everything else dies by the wayside. Easier to just sit back and see who's left standing a year later. React looks desirable in my eyes because it isn't a framework with a God complex (aka all 'opinionated' frameworks).
Likewise I do think the sleuth of frameworks means progress. Not always good progress, but we will continue to learn and improve things going forward as these experiments succeed or fail.
Not that I think that's inherently bad, especially since web technology is constantly in flux, but you can't say that having tons of small frameworks has zero impact on anyone's life.
