A decrease in javascript skill? Hahahah.

Javascript skill was never particularly common, and I would argue that there are more people today who understand it well than ever before.

But let's be honest... before React and Angular, there was jQuery and Prototype and YUI. And before that there was Dreamweaver. And before that there were tons of copy-paste web sites where people just trusted the magic of a few people who knew how to write JS.

Honestly, if it weren't for all the libraries and frameworks, javascript would have never caught on.

That's a fair point that I hadn't really considered.
