90 JavaScript Libraries That Do the Same Thing?

Some of that may also be coder preferences—someone makes their own libraries or framework, because they don’t know or don’t like what’s already available.

For example, I intentionally recode my site from the ground up every 18 months or so, to test & update my knowledge. I primarily use HTML & CSS. (I used WordPress once, and I HATED it. It kept editing my written-in-HTML pages, and it was harder to play with the FTP side of things.) I’ve looked at Bootstrap, to see about doing one of my site iterations using that, but I cringe within seconds and go back to my personal templates—which are waaay more efficient than Bootstrap, which also isn’t naturally compatible with the way I design sites.

As my fluency increases with JavaScript, I wouldn’t be surprised if I do something similar with or two those libraries. So why wouldn’t already-fluent folks already be doing that?
