This! This times a million times!!~!<p>Seriously. The javascript world is INSANE. All these frameworks and few truly need them... node.js package management is a mess... yet how many of these coders will take the time to learn real ES5? It really isn&#x27;t that hard of a language.<p>I feel like calling oneself a &quot;javascript&quot; expert practically requires knowledge of a framework or too. This is saddening, because Javascript itself is a rich language with a ridiculously fast runtime, yet everyone wants to work with a framework when a head full of sound theory and experience will do :&#x2F;
