It's also just kind of off-topic and representative of stereotypical HN cynicism. I don't think that's the tone I was aiming for. My point is really that for Espresso, or any other library that's aiming to be an alternative to another big and popular library, needs to do more than just being technically better. It needs good examples, clear docs, support from the community, and ultimately a well thought out "ethos". Espresso is lacking a few of those things. That's not even really a criticism of the library; it's just the state of library development and populism in the JS ecosystem in general. A large part of a devs decision making process comes down to things that aren't code. It's a bit like the "build it, they will come" route to market that kills so many startups. Just making something great isn't enough. You also need to handhold your users to get them to try it.
