And that is specifically because of a new trend in web standards about which I have mixed feelings.
Specifically, more low level APIs intended to be consumed less by web client developers directly and more by web tool/framework developers.
The idea is that web standards will be able to move faster and satisfy real (vs imagined) needs better if there is more dialogue with "userland" solutions. I get the impression they don't want to spend a lot of time on API usability only to find there are major problems with or no value in the essential features. (For example, almost a decade was arguably wasted on XML as a way to extend HTML, while multiple frameworks found their own ways to do it and thereby also uncovered a dozen OTHER needs in the platform.)
So there's definitely SOME inaccuracy to the framing of using the platform being about not using libraries at all. But honestly I think this argument usually involves people talking past each other, not with each other.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
