For the shops who don't live and breath js and whose js work is almost entirely browser-based, these monoliths are great. I, for one, am bummed that the js market is moving away from monoliths. e.g. YUI shutting down.

That's an interesting perspective. I don't have any inherent problems with large libraries, but my problem with some of these 'monoliths' is that other libraries start to depend on the entire library when they only need a small piece of functionality that the library provides.

Substack wrote an article [1] explaining some of the problems that monolithic libraries cause in an ecosystem.
