IMO this is an advantage of the smaller/smarter/niche (whatever you want to call them) programming communities. When they congregate around a couple libraries for common problems, those libraries tend to be very good. Speaking from experience in the Elm and Clojure ecosystems. It’s much better in terms of developer time to evaluate 2 good libraries than 50 libraries where the quality ranges from abysmal to good.
