I don't see what extra you need. Sure, if you want ready made widgets/UI effects, then go use one of those funky js libraries the kool kids use. I think one of the best things about javascript is that you can do things a ton of different ways, there is no right or wrong way to do OO, do it whichever way makes most sense. On the question of modularization/imports, I don't see an issue really, it's simple enough to include using script tags, and set your build/deploy script to remove those and combine/minify to a single js. Seems like a rant about how flexible and diverse javascript is, and how that's somehow a bad thing.
