Funny, but it's not quite that complex.
How about "Here's a link to a CLI utility or git repo which will give you a working project in 2-3 hours"?
I took a break from web dev for some years and had barely used any JS frameworks besides jQuery, until June, when I began working on an ambitious project and quickly got up to speed with the state of JS.
I'm using React/Redux/Sagas/Webpack/etc. for the client, and Express (with ES6 and what have you) for the API.
Developing with these new technologies has been a delight, especially compared to hacking bits of jQuery together.
Sure I've had to learn a lot of new concepts, particularly after being away from this world for so long, but this has always felt like a continual learning process to me.
We are the early adopters, the cutting-edge types. If you want to work with aging technologies there are plenty of companies invested in them.
Otherwise you can learn React in a few hours. What's the big deal?
