Check out http://dailyjs.com/ some time. Granted, it's devoted to all things JS (not just frameworks), but the number of libraries and microframeworks and plugins for frameworks is absolutely astounding.
I don't remember ever seeing anything like this level of churn, and I've been programming since the early nineties. Not with Java, not with Python, not with anything.
Someone above mentioned rolling their own stuff with vanilla JS (which provoked an immediate invocation of Greenspun's tenth rule). My sense is that a lot of people start out this way and say, "Lo, a library! Github!"
One hopes that the cream rises to the top, but I'm drowning in milk.
