You assume everybody uses these tools... in unity, harmony, and applying the best practices (that are not established yet).

You assume all libraries in JS is mature, well-supported, and will be there in the next 4 years at least.

I echoed other comments: JS ecosystem is unstable and confusing at the moment.

Case and point: EmberJS. I have to use ember-cli, npm, bower, and broccoli. Some of them overlap.

None of those overlap. NPM is used for build tools along with broccoli, and bower is used for application code. Ember cli packages them together.
