Is this a satire?  

For all its ire & acid, "The Sad State of Web Development" at least tried to make a cogent argument.  All I'm seeing here is a person who got overwhelmed by jargon and kneejerked to vomit out another diatribe on medium.com. 

The author would do better to focus on a series exploring their tour through modern JavaScript and its ecosystem, stopping to explain similarities and differences with other features, languages, or frameworks.  That would feel a little bit more like learning than a bunch of sarcastic quips.  If the author still felt compelled to follow-up with such remarks, then at least they'd have been a bit more vindicated.

I really like the vue implementation a guy posted in the comments:

simple, beautiful and without the bloat mentioned in the article.

LOL at the reference to npm being "oh, like Bower" which is funny because you need node+npm to install Bower... something I always found incredibly amusing.  and the biggest knock against Bower in the first place.

The rest of the rant is a little funny, but seriously... for the use case, jQuery would probably be fine...  I'd probably use babel with the polyfills, and run through that.
