When people complain about these things, I just don't get it. If you liked what you were doing, just keep doing it. Sure, Bower is deprecated and you might want to consider switching to an npm-based module fetcher, but every library I've seen still works with AMD. You can include React in an HTML script tag just like you could jQuery 5+ years ago and use it like that just fine. The issue with JS is that it's a language used for lots of different things, and one of those things is front-end web development which is, like you said, very unstable and currently in a state of enormous flux. You say we need to draw a line between the language and the libraries, but then you go on to say the language seems to reinvent itself every year.
