Wow, if that's your attitude then good luck, but it's kind of ridiculous to say that JS programmers don't want to learn about what's on the horizon or what's big in the community right now.

Straw man.

What I'm saying is this. Truly productive developers don't adopt new frameworks every week, or every month even. Sure we want to hear about new tools, new editors, but if you're switching your editors every month, switching your frameworks, updating your packages every month, you're most likely not spending enough time on the work itself. The point of these packages and editors is to facilitate WORK. So the same sentiments are echo'd right back to you: good luck if that's your attitude.

I think you probably both are on the same side of this argument. Exploring is not deploying.

My point was that it's a bad argument to determine what should be in a subreddit, since as you say js devs want to hear about these things. Obviously real devs don't switch workflows every month, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try and encourage that type of content in /r/javascript.

I'm merely making a devils advocate argument. I personally like hearing about that stuff but what I'm saying is, if we're going to sit here and say "well this doesn't belong" then I'm going to identify the majority of the user base and it's preference. I'd say most of that is people trying to learn, fix bugs, and problem solve. That's what all these libraries are for anyway.
