I agree with this as well. Just because I've heard of Mithril.js doesn't mean I'm going to now start considering Mithril for my projects.

One of these Javascript libraries could end up introducing an innovative idea or have a feature that other libraries don't. It wouldn't make sense to just stop making them because there's a lot of them out there.

Javascript fatigue only happens when you start giving all libraries equal consideration and using new frameworks just because they're what's "in".

The fatigue doesn't come from giving all libraries equal consideration. It comes from having to decide what's "in" and for how long. Sometimes it takes days of research just to decide if something is popular, let alone whether it's going to last.
