I respectfully disagree. The paradox of choice is not, I think, controversial to anyone here. There is a cognitive burden to new web developers when deciding which framework to use. Often times, they'll make the wrong choice, say "forget it," and go back to native development.

The social incentives in the JavaScript community are structured so that you get recognition for rolling your own library because you disagree with a naming choice. Forking or rolling your own should be a last ditch effort, not the first tool in your toolbelt.

Competition is great, but it must be balanced with collaboration. And I think that's what's out of whack in the JavaScript community.
