I think that a problem in the JavaScript community is that some projects and people rise to the top extremely quickly and this creates undue hype - Then developers just pile onto the latest shiniest ideas and abstract concepts without actually doing the due diligence for themselves in a real-world practical setting. Eventually, developers realize that while the over-hyped tool or framework that they're using does add a form of theoretical elegance to their project, it also carries crippling non-obvious overheads which slow down real-world development overall. I think it's important not to buy into hype. When evaluating and selecting a framework or library for a project, if it has had a lot of hype then instead of marking that as a positive on your checklist, it should be marked as a neutral or sometimes even as a negative.
