Good article. You make some good points. Now, I want to offer an opinion. It's not an attack on people, it's just that we haven't done a good job with standards with js. Just my observation over the last few years -- take it for it's worth.

A big problem with the js frameworks is that you have very experienced js framework developers who have not worked much with other languages and ecosystems.

Java and Python (especially Python) have very well thought-out and implemented standards. Developers coming from these areas to work on the js framework side typically bring that mentality and discipline with them.

It's a pity that even as long as Node has been around there still is not much of a formal standard for writing Javascript. There's still too much focus on the frameworks themselves instead of on the basics like algorithms and writing good readable code. It's as though most js developers still have not gotten that message.

Good comment. I think in the same way. In my case, I've been doing applications with different programming languages: C#, javascript, PowerShell, and Python as examples, and found the same issues in the end, difficulty to solve, maintain or evolve functionalities when there is no standard applied.
