Yep, it's dizzying how fast the JS ecosystem is changing; hell, even just the React ecosystem on its own. I went back to a React-based side project I had been working on at the beginning of this year to try to get it up to date with current best practices and tooling, and SO much has changed (Babel/ES6, Webpack, the maturation of the Flux pattern, the React/React DOM split, etc) that I've decided to rewrite it more or less from scratch.
I don't even need a lot of the stuff this particular boilerplate kit has, as my app is designed to run as a static site on Github pages, but having one place to go just to find out what libraries and practices are currently considered the state of the art (or flavor of the month, depending on your level of cynicism) would be wonderful.
Them's the breaks, I guess.
