I agree with you to certain degree, but this was not the only thing I was talking about. I dislike what has happened to Javascript the language itself. The way they changed makes the language almost unrecognizable. I think JS the language used to be simple and elegant (even though a lot of people would say otherwise). But they've added on these new features that introduce a lot of complexity. Sure these features make Javascript more "powerful", but at a cost of making it way too complex. And these new features don't do anything that wasn't possible before. The new JS is more different from the old JS than how C++ was different from C. Normally when something like this happens to other languages, they say they've "forked" it and come up with a new name. I was perfectly fine with the old approach of creating classes from functions and that was what really attracted me to javascript once I got used to it since it's a very unique concept that showed you how you can create complexity from simplicity. And I'm sure soon with the official support of the new js, the ecosystem will become even more complex and chaotic. And then people will realize it's not worth it to build or learn yet another javascript framework, and stop. Then there will be few winners left in the arena, and innovation will stop. No more "javascript fatigue" so I guess that would be good, but that's when I think another simple language will take over. Besides, js will probably NOT be the primary language of devices of the future, so people will probably move on.
