I would say the JS community has both NIH syndrome and huge dependency trees. Everyone does things differently and there are 5 or 6 kind of decent options for any dependency you might need. Yet somehow there is rarely one great option.

I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't NIH syndrome be the cause of huge dep. trees?

I find it also funny that JS is at the top of the discussion about of article about ruby.

Nope, NIH Syndrome[0] is when you don't use a dependency because it wasn't written by your team/company/whatever so one would expect it to lead to smaller dependency trees.
