When's the last time a JS library was called a defacto standard and it was still the overwhelmingly dominant solution 3 years later?
Yes, and where competition wasn't necessary to address deficiencies.

Underscore is something of a defacto standard but implementation competition did a lot for that space. /thx

Node is popular but ChakraCore is good for Node. I wouldn't be incredibly sad if a competitor "node for microprocessors" came to exist.
-
JRuby was good for Ruby. "Universal JS" was good for browsers.

Express has been astonishingly durable.

Also many of the lower level, early libraries have no competition because they are just great. async, qs, and mkdirp aren't going anywhere.

async is going somewhere ;)

I think I'd consider mkdirp a part of the defacto stdlib, which is probably a little different. For mkdirp
@substack was right.
