> 1)Not difficult to hire for. JS frameworks are currently in the sweet spot where they're both widely popular and "cool". Consequently it's not hard to find good candidates

If someone is good at JS why not hot hire him? Wouldn't a professional be up & running with ANY framework you throw at him in a month or less?

I know JS like the back of my hand, I’ve been working with it off and on throughout the years since it was first in beta for Netscape Navigator. I’ve had to do some relatively complicated JS logic on the front end and back end.

But, I wouldn’t work for any company crazy enough to hire me as a modern front end developer.
