Obviously not comprehensive, but I think it's interesting how relatively rare AngularJS is on that list. By contrast, I work in a shop that's gone in heavy for Angular on new projects over the last year or so, so it's easy for me to think it's taken over the world (and wonder why :/).

To that point, it's interesting how many claim that Backbone is yesterday's tech and that we are now 2 or 3 iterations of javascript frameworks past Backbone, yet most of these large sites are still using Backbone! It's possible that a lot of the sites would use something other than Backbone if they were built today, but it's clear that Backbone will be around for some time.

Probably not in modern web companies, but there are still COBOL stacks around.

Yesterday or not, Backbone works. Loads fast. And is dead simple to use.
