The ecosystem exploded because of a few core advances (ES6 finally coming out, Babel coming into light, the CommonJS approach to modules, the rebirth of functional programming on the frontend, etc).
This is behind us now. If you sit in forums, chat rooms and other JS centric communities, you'll see that the dialog is pretty different.
It's no longer "Let's build a new tool!" (oh there's some of that, but they rarely hit the spotlight). It's "How do we make this tool work in this edge case we didn't think of".
There's still a framework every other day, but they're usually built on top of the core things now, and no one really pay attention to 99% of them anymore.
If you remember the early days of Java and SOAP with the new SOA framework a day, this is pretty similar. It's settling down.
