Oh I agree that questions are two often badly answered! The exemple of “why don’t you use this instead” is the worst offender. I didn’t understand you were talking about this, and I’m still traumatised by javascript after 14 years.
This isn’t limited to JS. Too many times have I seen someone ask a question of how to do XYZ in language ABC where most of the replies were some form of “Just use this library bro” while not actually answering the question. And usually the library that’s being suggested is some big monolith that implements a ton of shit that no one really uses.

For their credit basic javascript is a garbage language.

Yes…and, worse yet, the jQuery responses are almost never a good way to do things or they use things that are deprecated. It’s a hot mess out there.
