> Here we go again.

This type of rhetoric really irritates me. Here we go again, someone wrote some code and released it on the internet for free! How could someone do this to you? Excuse the caps, I'm not trying to be hostile, but this attitude really makes me want to scream:

DON'T USE IT!

> And now I'm thinking it's not good enough any more

This is your mistake. The fact that someone released their code on the internet for free has absolutely no bearing on the engineering quality of your existing code. You're suffering from a case of programmer vanity, it has nothing to do with JavaScript, it has to do with the fact that you're looking for problems to solve with this shiny new tool instead of looking for tools to solve a specific problem.

Someone's rant was only 4 words (and then continued with decent criticism) and it inspired you to write an even longer rant instead of adding value to the project at hand. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The value they added was to try and teach people that they don't have to react negatively each time a new open source project is released or recommended.
