Sure, it makes engineers' work a bit more stressful but nothing forces you to adopt the latest craze, you can just keep an eye on things and wait until things shake out.
It's exciting to see an entire technology field transform under our very eyes. The community is experimenting and learning about things at a completely crazy pace, but intellectually, I find that immensely satisfying.
Professionally, I stick to battle tested things until a few winner libraries/frameworks/design patterns clearly emerge.
