People complaint about framework or library churn in the JS world, but other ecosystems have the same issue. For people who aren't following this ecosystem closely, I just want something that works and gets out of the way with a minimal learning curve.

Navigating fragmented ecosystems sure is a pain... I get that different tools serve different needs, but having to learn a bunch of different things just to figure out which one to use gets really exhausting. Especially when you have to do it for tools at every layer of your stack.

JS is a punching bag because it’s a moving target that most everyone has to deal with at some point and pre-ES6 JS had quite a few warts. It’s a fine language now, especially with TypeScript helping to push things in the right direction.

I left .NET land for this very reason. JS pales in comparison to .NET framework fatigue
