Using a Framework will harm the maintenance of your software

I think some of your experiences can be explained by your citing NPM as representative of FOSS. Not that there's anything wrong with the astonishing breadth of functionality available in the NPM ecosystem, but stability isn't its strongest comparative suit. OTOH, Django, which was cited by the author, just doesn't have that kind of volatility in its base features.

There are at least two things wrong. One is those things is missing standard functionality (eg, leftpad), and the other is a failure to maintain appropriate hubris (eg, is_even).

I don't think those are criticisms of the repository, are they? They seem like criticisms of modern Javascript.

True. I should have been more clear because NPM =/= FOSS.
