Yeah, my personal thoughts on this are somewhat similar. As a JavaScript developer I prefer to do what I can in JavaScript as compared to Java, but that doesn't make Java bad. Java is actually better as a web middle tier for managing sessions and all the other OWASP goodness precisely because it is a completely separate technology. But at the same time if the end product is something that appears in a web browser you have to concede to some mastery of those skills for the sake of product quality. Putting everything into Java (or JavaScript) for the sake of comfort is so very bad.
