I totally agree one shouldn't limit himself to technologies based on popularity or rumors. People are inclined to build prejudices about the unknown out of fear. Either of not understanding it or not having time for it or simply because of a gut feeling.
But these are just tools. They are not good or evil. They are simply suited or not to solve your problem. And as the logic goes, the more tools you know the more problems you can solve.
RxJS, for instance, is one tool that most people might want to at least know what it is about (check this out: rxmarbles.com/). I am doing Android development primarily, but around a year ago I started working on an iOS project. And if there is any tool that saved me the most dev time it is RxSwift, which is the Rx implementation for Swift. That is because I already knew about RxJS (from personal projects) and RxKotlin.
So, more people should follow your example - explore, analyze, and test your tools before jumping to conclusions. It may be harder at the beginning but definitely worth it in the long run.
