This is a great comment! I _love_ all of the tools that I mentioned. Like you said, I use them because they add value. I also use them because I want to learn them -- I like trying out new tools/libraries with personal projects, since I don't do much front-end at work. > And a big part of a software developer's job is looking at a list of things like that and knowing why each component is there in the list, and whether the value it adds is worth the complexity it adds. This is a great piece of insight. It's something I'll have to think about. > I think the other reason it's not that popular is that the current state of affairs isn't that complicated I do think that most not in the front-end space would disagree, especially considering how fast the ecosystem hops on something new.
