Its the language itself. Easy to understand and use, and does a great job at manipulating browser elements and web centric data formats such as json. Anyone can pick up js and write a library, and to an extent thats what happens - everyone and their cat writes a js library that does what an existing library already does but marginally different. Or they fork an existing repo, throw in a new name, change a few files here and there and call it an “alternative”. Js is easy once you get it right.
