@Cartwright2: Meteor is heading in that direction with version 1.3. Cohesive toolchain that integrates the best from the Javascript world, that is modular if you want, but ultimately a fantastic developer UX designed for happiness and productivity.

Everything will just work with defaults. Not like this travesty: https://github.com/kriasoft/react-starter-kit

I think, and hope, that the "modularity" of the Javascript ecosystem will lead to extreme decision fatigue, followed by a doubling-down on the best individual modules, aggregation into larger, monolithic frameworks that work well, and finally an increase in developer productivity and standardization of the choices of frameworks. At this point, the Javascript field will no longer be in shambles as it is today.

All it will really take is one person to merge, say, React with a boilerplate-reduxed Flux framework, a REST library, and a handful of other must-haves, under a single, new product name. Let's call it "Rimble". When people realize they can "import { Component, Actions } from Rimble" we'll see a shift towards monolithic frameworks and the ball will start rolling back in the right direction.
