I like the energy around the javascript everywhere movement. So what if they reinvent the wheel, sometimes you find a better wheel and break the rules along the way.

There is something exciting about developers using a language in ways it was never designed. Then having the language change to support the changing ecosystem...

So true, at the end of the day people are working like this because it's the way they feel the most passionate about. You can't really blame them considering how disinterested people can get working on that last 10% of even their own projects.

haha, why do we do this? Should we judge programmers by how finished their thing is? I think it is the most impressive quality when I see it (which is non of my own stuff haha)

It's when you build a business on a technology and then have to re-invest to rebuild the product, that's when it becomes an issue. Think of all the start ups that built running businesses on Angular 1.
