Well it is a nice list but, it's a list, again. By that I mean you either find compilation list like that or full stack framework but what a would personally find more useful would sets of cohesive tools, end-to-end. Sure there are boilerplates out there but what I frustrating is that you hardly find "full stack" one. For instance what about a boilerplate for django + django-rest-framework + backbone.js + marionette…

I think you are absolutely right, we are now ready to build a "debian for web development". We have lot's of high quality little packages we can unite under one well tested system.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

perhaps if the OP is reading, he could move it to a Github project and take pull requests

This is not my work, I tried contacting dypsilon but couldn't find contact details to let him know he should stop by here. EDIT: found him on twitter and contacted him

Thanks, I'll move it to a github repo asap.

Seeing this mess again tells me that there's something fundamentally wrong with the web or at least with the standardized technologies that are supposed to solve the problem of frontend development (namely HTML, CSS and JS).

I think the web really needs a fresh start before I would even consider becoming a web developer (I'm a CS student atm)

It won't ever get a fresh start, so you might as well jump in now!

I agree. Even if I didn't agree with all the choices, to see what works well together (and have explanations of why these were chosen by the author, not an arrogant "this is my list, use it") would be great.

It's not as big of a mess as the list would make it seem. None of the resources provided are required, and however useful they may seem, I've never found them to speed up development time. I do all of my HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from scratch for every site I build. It's a max of one day on only the most complex projects.

That's like saying you don't want to eat the eggs in your fridge because there are too many ways to cook them, and you're certain, despite the fact that you don't have any experience cooking them, that cooking eggs needs to be rethought.

You don't actually mention anything that's wrong with any of the libraries. Most of them seem well written. So why would the web need a fresh start?
