>What if it happened just before React, and you therefore got stuck with angular?
Still a good thing. :) The massive bump in developer market liquidity is far more valuable in my eyes than any inherent DevEx advantages. You'd still have much cheaper high quality web apps, although, if React truly has a technical advantage over Angular (doubtful), maybe not as much cheaper, but still much cheaper than pre-LLM.
If you truly want to figure out where I think the equation sign flips, it's probably like, pre-Smalltalk somewhere.
