Express has been astonishingly durable.

Also many of the lower level, early libraries have no competition because they are just great. async, qs, and mkdirp aren't going anywhere.

In general I agree that almost no tech has a peak popularity greater than 10 years. However, I don't see "de facto standard" as a barrier.

If being considered a standard was a real barrier to competition then we would see longer lives for these things.

The real barrier to competition is the overwhelming volume of use cases and edge cases a popular library grows to cover.

React is showing astonishing growth by restricting its domain and so having fewer edge cases but tons of use cases.

Webpack is solving a brain-breakingly hard problem and covering a ton of edge cases. Everyone inc. its authors agrees it could be better.

But in webpack's case I think the lack of *successful* competitors is because the edge cases are so very difficult to get right.

I find it hard to determine what is a webpack competitor, it does so much. Is browserify? is rollup?

Webpack could be broken up more and then it'd be easier. But I tend to think rollup.
