Someone in a thread here a few months back described webdevs and their constant obsession with changing tooling, frameworks, etc. as "mayflies debating politics" or something to that effect and it has stuck with me since. Do all these new frameworks really have some sort of inherent flaws that require rebuilding everything from the ground up every 5 years or less? Or is it just something inherent in the language/web (and/or the sorts of people who become webdevs) that causes this phenomenon?
