I get what you're saying, but I don't think we should stop this movement of "plug and play" coding. Last year, I needed to build a really small app to be used internally by my company. Without "slapping another JS library" in, it would have taken me 6 months to build this application, but I did it in 2 weeks. It works, ~30 people use it every day, haven't run into any problems.
A critic would say, "but what about in ten years when they need to fix a problem with the app you built, but none of the libraries are around, or have all changed significantly, etc". To which I say, just build another one, the first one took me two weeks, just spend another two weeks building a newer one. Code is cheap, throw it away and get new code if the old stuff stops working.
