At least in my case the supposedly burn out is not only due to React's changes. It's due to the entire web dev eco system that's currently moving so fast that even enthusiasts struggle to keep up. E.g. have you learned Prisma recently? Well, Drizzle might be better, you've wasted your time. Learned tRPC? Well, Next.js 13 doesn't even have to have place for tRPC - you've wasted your time. React Query? Same thing, not even TkDodo really knows what's going to happen. Don't get me wrong; it's good to see innovation. But as someone who spends like 50+ hours every week on software development (professionally and on side projects) it just feels really wearing.

React should have kept focus on the client and improve the performance of rendering (signals etc). Still wonder why they are moved from being a library to being a framework
