What were your thoughts on the broader points of the post?

I agree with it in terms of generally desired skill sets. Angular rose to prominence very quickly and Node has had a very steady grassroots climb. Backbone has been on the decline for a while now. I don't think React has the klout to really become a commonplace skill. We will see what happens with Angular after 2.0 though.

I personally/professionally will consider using CanJs and EmberJs from now on.
