Also just skimmed it and concur; article barely delivers on its title, if at all. Currently working with modern JS myself in context of Node (after a long hiatus that largely predates ES6), and the trend with frameworks in that space seems to be minimalism combined with composability. Guessing this is due in part to the whole microservices phenomenon in past years, or more probably developers just being fed up with monolithic frameworks in general. Personally I think strict adherence to and/or overuse of most design patterns is itself an anti-pattern, though there are notable exceptions (namely observables, which constitute a cornerstone of event and reactive architectures).
