I had the exact same reaction. Sticking Angular in there with no mention of Backbone is revisionist history. Backbone was everywhere. ES6 doesn't coalesce without Coffeescript either. Firebug is another glaring omission. What about npm? Chromium? MDN? ECMA2015? querySelector/modern DOM APIs?
As someone who has been writing javascript for over a decade, I find this list to be really disingenuous. Putting projects like Rome, Snowpack, and Deno alongside jQuery is almost laughable. They certainly have large potential upside, but they have yet to have any significant tangible impact on the Javascript community. I'm all for them and will continue to support their development, but why not mention the projects that had genuine historic impact. Does angular really belong here twice? I'm not sure it belongs even once.
I suppose it shouldn't bug me this much.. it's just a list. But given everything the developers of these projects have given me, I'd like to see them get the credit they deserve.
