While it's easy to get frustrated especially if you are following each twist and turn that js takes, I think if you step back a little, you can see things are getting better as a whole.

For the longest time, js was just a thing I did on weekend or as part of tertiary projects at work. I first used js as a kid for my geocities page, used jquery and YUI for a work projects starting about eight years ago, experimented with Angular, and most recently embraced React and es6.

Almost two years ago, I quit my job and started building a side project in React and Fluxxor for fun. At this point there were a bunch of Flux implementations and no dominant library had emerged. I got frustrated with the build process and then got distracted with other life experiences.

I returned to javascript less than a year later and was amazed at how much better things got. I could do npm install and npm start and there was a good chance things would actually work. I was doing the same google searches but noticed that the documentation was a lot better. I also had a friend this time around and he steered me toward Redux and es6. Javascript suddenly became an enjoyable language for me enough that I plan to focus on it. This is after more than close to twenty years of fits and starts.
