This just reinforces my view that JavaScript is going through the same phase Java frameworks did a while ago -- lots of people trying to figure out which kinds of frameworks and patterns to use, until one reaches the AbstractFactoryFactory and the whole ecosystem becomes a punchline.

All I had to say was "ask the knockoutjs guys how they're finding new recruits on the market".
Now, if you might have an argument if you mean recruiting in terms of, "What sexy thing will help me attract rock star 10X JavaScript devs, who haven't used X professionally yet but are dying to do so?". However, the problem with that argument is that people who come to you for the latest trendy edge will leave if you don't chase the next trend every six months. In fact, even today they're already more interested in the React shop next door.
Frankly, if you're willing to be a bit less sexy with your front-end tech stack, you can hire more stable and affordable developers and probably be better off altogether.
Not sure what you mean, but Knockout can be learned in a day and nearly mastered in a week. There'd be no need to look for someone proficient in knockout.

So... Support for deprecated features for one year? Hahahahaha. <sniff> Whooo, feels good to laugh.
