I'm not the OP but something I have noticed is the JavaScript wünderkind seem to want to completely reinvent web browsers but in JavaScript. They seem to not actually know HTML, CSS fundamentals, or even HTTP. So you end up with frameworks that reinvent everything a browser already gives you (for free) but entirely inside their JavaScript monstrosities.

I might just be grouchy and uncharitable but it's certainly the feeling I get looking at any of the big JavaScript frameworks. It's infuriating to see frameworks reinvent something like a button with a bunch of anchors, divs, and spans when HTML gives them a perfectly functional button with a bunch of built-in events including touch events.
