1) In general, in the open-source community, there's a LOT of JS frameworks and many of them have caused developer frustration. This has lead to people being generally more skeptical of ANY new framework, just because there's so many & its considered a saturated space, so critique will be more strict.
2) With JS taking over as the "everything language", there's also some general backlash against JS itself.
3) On HN, this is even more pronounced for some reason.
However, apart from the above, most of the negative comments seem to just be direct replies to certain claims you've made on HN (keys unnecessary & the ES6 DSL): there aren't as many negative comments on the actual submitted website. Personally I quite like it - I particularly love the narrative history lesson & to-the-point inline examples; you're a great communicator. As for thte library, there's elegance in simplicity, & while the framework may not be practical at the moment for some applications, there's still value in using software that is essential grokkable.
You're trying to upset the applecart by saying your "framework", which has been developed in relative isolation, is better than the other top 4 contenders. Well, you better have some hard proof of that.
There's a few elements to understand here:

Saying that you don't use lists, isn't helping.
Thank you lucideer! Great, kind points. Made me feel better.
