A lot of people on HN seem to confuse the introduction of new tools with a necessity for you to constantly rewrite your app. There's nothing saying you need to adopt the new tools as soon as they come out.
Personally, I like to give things a good while to work out the kinks and see if they're actually any good (Bower failed this test, for example, so I've never used it). In the meantime, my "old" tools still work fine. Despite all the talk of churn, the last time I actually added a new major tool to my stack was GraphQL this spring.
