You don’t have to bounce a tennis ball very far in San Francisco before it will hit two developers complaining about how many js tools/frameworks there are for development in 2015 and how much unneccessary complexity they add. Doing a search on twitter for ‘too many js tools’ or ‘yet another js framework’ returns… a lot of people lamenting the current state of affairs.
This is most likely, the wrong conversation for us as a community, to be having. The presence of bad tools - shouldn’t discourage us from wanting more tools or frameworks. There are more books published in a single day than I will ever be able to read in my lifetime. But this does not make me sad. Or overwhelm me. Mostly I think about how excited I am to read the best books that are being published. And this is where we should push the conversation. How do we build better tools? What does that look like?
