As a JS hater.... I completely agree. I think the problem is that bad designers are misusing a good tool. It's like salt: If I add a little to my meal, it makes it better. If I add a LOT of it to my meal, it doesn't keep getting better. Unfortunately this causes a knee-jerk reaction to anything JS. Although I don't think JS is to blame, I think the hatred of JS comes from a good reason.
