Author here: the title wasn't supposed to reflect on the quality of the libraries, but on the difficulty to follow on the development of javascript dev. I have a background in C, where things have been more or less the same for decades.
Oops, I apologize for the curt comment, I misunderstood the intention of the title and might have reacted emotionally. I often come across articles/comments about how JavaScript is a "terrible language", the ecosystem is a "mess", it cannot be used for enterprise, etc. Some are valid arguments and I agree more or less, but so much of them are subjective, negative attacks. So I had this context in mind when I saw the title.
I really like the simple, clean design and functionality of the site (looks like Material UI..?). The list includes many/most of the major tools that I use or have used in the past, and I think the list is useful as a reference.
It must have been just the word "mess" that I reacted to: looking at the list of libraries and tools, my feeling/experience is that each of them is respectable and organized - the opposite of a mess, at least in my mind - like a constellation of familiar stars.
So, thank you for sharing your work, I just wanted to give my first impression of the title.
