Been through a few front-end projects lately, mainly built by designers on React. Some of them have been abandoned like it was a surge of an idea - common is that they provide excellent UX and design. 

Coming from an engineering background it is a strange situation to see how many dependencies are used and not being updated even though there are alternatives. Such as ending with requiring Node 16 from 2021 for all dependencies due to “one” package. Node 16 was end of life at September 11, 2023, people. 

Interesting enough I’m able to update several to be in  better state in just a few hours, so it is obviously something I don’t understand in my naivety here - or people just don’t care about security and stability.
