Did for years, prior to that I started on BSDi. Flirted with Linux a few times, but ran into dependency hell. Came back a few years later, the package manager finally worked, so I moved most things to Centos.

I'd place a small bet on the former, but I wouldn't go all in. I agree with you - those javascript folks are more ADHD than me. And that's saying a lot.
