Really? History is filled with stuff that sucks and people still use it.
As an example, J2EE circa 2002-2006 is a good example, with everybody, including its own designers agreeing now that it sucks hard. And yet it was widely used in the enterprise.
Your comeback to the other commenter is even more illogical. He points to PHP (as an example of something arguably sucky that people do use) and you respond that "PHP is not a Javascript framework".
So? Did you really meant your original statement ("If it sucked nobody would be using it") as something that only holds for JS frameworks (and not also for things like programming languages or libraries)?
