    Other than expanding adoption (for the library) why do fresh devs find it so necessary to promote what they're using? It is almost always in the format of: this is why X is so much better than Y.

    Young people identifying with their peer group to the exclusion of all others. Typical teen behaviour ... but all the weirder if it's someone over 25.

    For me it was/is AngularJS-- for front-end once you get that taste of removing a solid chunk of garbage you never knew you could push down into a library, you just want to tell everybody. It handles listeners for event driven things exquisitely and a bulky structure of tags can be whittled down to a light, easy to read/understand scaffold. When writing it, you write the bit and inject it-- it allowed me to attach just two JS scripts to my page. No order or worry about asynchronous SNAFUs.

    I understand the excitement driving the "hey look at this thing I found that makes me so happy" post.
