I agree that many Frontend libraries are pretty intimidating to step into if you don't have a background in it. Don't agree that JS community is bad, it is the largest community of any language by far, and it has the most money invested into it by a huge margin. There is a lot of trash but there is some seriously good stuff, and you can find 10+ packages trying to do pretty much anything you can think of.

When it's "the largest community of any language by far" - which is true enough - having "some good stuff" is a very low bar. The dev culture around JS and Node is notorious for cranking out poorly written libraries. And yes, you can find 10+ packages to do pretty much anything... of which 8 are abandoned and no longer work on up-to-date Node versions or depend on other packages with known vulnerabilities.
