The list is very ancient.
Seems like you've included things which aren't even relevant much anynore like CI, Ember etc
AngularJs is a relic, its Angular(io) now.
What about React and Vue? You also forgot Hapi.

Angular is almost never referred to as a library. The Angular team refers to Angular as a platform. I have never thought of Angular as being able to extend my HTML vocabulary, but perhaps you mean how Angular emulates custom elements in a way.
