I'm currently hiring for developers with 3+ years of T3 experience.

You should be one of these clueless HR managers (( 10+ years of jQuery Experience ))

- Hello, jQuery wasn't around 10 years ago ...

But seriously and with all due respect when will these people realize that the market for JS frameworks is INSANELY saturated and released products are ASTONISHINGLY optimized that there's no need for the time being to push yet another framework and torture us devs with the task to master it out of the fear of being left behind and feeling irrelevant skills-wise?

Probably when you realize that it's not a market.

Nobody sells you anything.

They offer it for free. Anybody who wants can use it, anybody who doesn't please don't let the door hit them on their way out.

Since everything has a price, there will be market for it.

I guess that you might know that we devs don't have the final say on all of this. Clients or employers dictate in one way or another the way to go with front end web dev. If it were for me and I guess many devs, we'd just settle for one or two frameworks max. and just ignore the rest and their existence.

It's tough market out there dude!

Respectfully, I've never had a client dictate the choice of front-end framework. That seems insane to me. Has that happened to you?

Yes on so many occasions. I want an Angular or Backbone FE coupled with MySQL/Apache or the complement of the MEAN stack for the BE.

These are two different kind of clients here. One actually has an inkling what these technologies are, the other just wants a deliverable.

"Us devs"? You act like the people writing open source frameworks are not developers. Far more productive than you perhaps, but developers nonetheless.
