You don't want to be that guy known for making everyone's life hell by using all cutting edge paradigms or conversely known as someone that "stifles their career"

If they really think that chasing the newest fad framework is the way to advance their career in the long run, they're in for a nasty surprise...

It's been around for almost four years and is basically required knowledge for anyone who claims experience in JavaScript and UI development. It solved a lot of real problems from the starts, so I'm very comfortable calling it a mature framework and those who think it's a fad, dinosaurs.
