I can understand new libraries being crappy, it takes time to get good and that's why you should pick well established libraries. True, the hype machine is huge in the js world and the superstars in it are better marketers on twitter than coders. I'm not going to touch anything graphql related for at least 5 more years and hopefully I will never have to touch it. React became decent last year when next started being mature enough. What I don't like is all the transpiling and new language features getting to js. The single worst decision was to swap require for import. I don't care how much better the new model is, it broke too much stuff and I feel pain at least once a week because of that crap. Frankly, that's a nightmare and I think it will be years before it's decent to use - or maybe we'll need deno to get there. I swapped js with rust (+rocket) for all my personal projects and it's been nice - but I'm still stuck with js on a few projects where I'm collaborating with other developers who are not going to realistically learn rust.
