Depending on who you ask, right now JavaScript is either turning into a modern, reliable language, or a bloated, overly complex dependency hell. Or maybe both?

What's more, there's just so many options: Do you use React or Angular 2? Do you really need Webpack? And what's this month's recommended way of dealing with CSS?

Like you, I spent far too many hours reading about all this, and at the end I still wasn't sure. So I decided to create a survey to see what everybody else thought. It seems like I must've hit a nerve, because I got over 9000 answers in just over two weeks!

Further down in the article, the survey results are listed, though not in an easily scrape-able format. Oddly enough, the site degrades gracefully, and does not require Javascript to be enabled.

    Look dipshit, it's ALL about the billions of web users who don't give a flying fuck about and are completely oblivious to YOUR difficulties.
    Your job as a responsible 'developer' is to provide a safe and secure service. Nothing else. All your petty 'concerns' don't mean shit. Either provide a safe and secure service or fuck off and clean toilets.

    Stupid lame justifications don't matter to those you're putting at risk with your shitty code and sorry assed excuses.
    Playtime's over kids, grow the fuck up.
