I agree with your comments that detailed posts covering just one library and discussing about the specifics of why/why not the library is a good choice are much more interesting. But I think that lists of these kinds are useful as well, specially for someone who is just beginning their development as this lists some of the libraries that I think are useful for all kinds of applications. I have seen people writing code to perform things that are already accomplished by these libraries and maybe if they knew something like this exists, they wouldn't have to waste few good days on reprogramming the wheel. P.S. I am the author of the post so I might be a bit biased on this.

It is really nothing against you. The distaste is from previous black hats using these lists for SEO purposes/link bait. Easy to get backlinks, easy to put a link at the bottom with a DOFOLLOW that is completely off topic (hello infographics), etc. I had already upvoted, because I do not completely discredit the value of lists. I was just replying to the commenter above.
