Buzzwordy...maybe, but most of those ARE things you would be using every day to build the modern web based apps that millions of people use daily.

You don't think dealing with those might be worth it to people to develop things like Soundcloud, Hipmunk, AirBNB, etc?

I'm not a front end dev, but cmon - how can you not use some of the slick, modern, browser based apps these days and not think back to Windows 3.1, or Lotus Notes, or...anything from a decade ago and not just smiler at how nice the experience can be when done right?

I guess if you never want to expand past the 32 keywords of C forever, then sure, celebrate.

15/20 of your "buzzword soup" are simply names of languages, tools or libraries. You're being disingenuous here.
