I believe the truth lies somewhere in between. You will have a really rough time programming JS with the good parts only, but you will also have a rough time annoying your colleagues when you are the only one using "this" in a place where it's considered a bug by most people.

@davnn you said it well. Most of the Javascript "Bad Reputation all these years" comes from the Language designed 20 years ago and did not change much mainly due to the fact that it is linked to ALL Browser vendor support at the SAME TIME ( to make any webpage JS to work). Assume a senario like where Ruby/Python could not change for last 20 years from their version 0.5 Now with ES6 and Babel Translator everybody can write ES6 code ( with out OLD JS BAD parts ) and enjoy JS as a true high level language like Ruby/Python . http://es6-features.org/#ClassInheritance http://es6-features.org/#ClassInheritance http://es6-features.org/#ClassInheritance http://es6-features.org/#ClassInheritance
