... and this is the problem. when you are using a library from github, you are programming with others. when they break those libraries, they are breaking your application, any bug in it creeps into your application, if the interface is poorly designed, your code will be hackish to get around it, if it's a pain to setup and configure, you have to deal with it. most programmers today are programming with others, and there's no technical lead. you grab 5 different packages, they all have different styles. In the javascript world people sometimes end up with libraries clashing over each other. This is what I mean by programming with others. :) There is no one authority in the internet. We got that with Linux, OpenBSD, Python, and Ruby and people cry so much about those "dictators"
