The javascript ecosystem is feeling better than ever to me right now.
The only reason that people are getting "javascript fatigue" and complaining that JS is being used for everything is because so many people are working so hard to improve and innovate the language/ecosystem... and so many people are actually finding applicable benefit to that work.
I've built several native iOS apps in Ruby with RubyMotion - no one was upset about Ruby fatigue or that Ruby is being used in a new context... Because why would they? There's nothing to complain about! It's just a product created by people working hard to provide value in a new way.
And that's what people are doing in the JS world too. There's just way more of them and way more people using and applying that work, so it starts to feel overwhelming. But that is not the fault of the language or the community.
No one is forcing anyone to use any language or framework. No one is forcing anyone to use any particular software. Pick the ones best for your needs — why pull down all the people working so hard on JS along the way?
