> You are extrapolating from the past into the future, but a lot has consolidated in the last five years.

I've been writing JavaScript that entire time, and the complete disregard for maintenance has gotten worse, not better.

You seem to be under the impression that because I also write other languages, I haven't been keeping track of what's happening in the JS ecosystem, but you're wrong--I still write JS, because I often don't have any other option.

The fact that I work in other languages means I get to see what I like about better-managed ecosystems. If you're writing JS on both frontend and backend and not using anything else, it's likely that you don't know how bad things are for you because the JS churn has been normalized for you.
