Life is too short to put up with this nonsense. My take is the JS ecosystem is dominated by devs who like programming more than they like solving problems via programming. And that’s fine, but the culture doesn’t reign them in, and everyone takes a maximalist approach to things, believing that just a bit more JS would make things a little less crazy. Fundamentally, the web is not a great application platform. Decent, yes. This is the fact that cannot be papered over by more software. I left webdev back in 2012 after doing Rails. Best decision I have ever made for my career.
