Arguing about it's merits doesn't miss the point at all because it isn't limited to the browser. Even other dynamic languages generally have a better design and are much easier to debug in production in my experience. Also, people making legitimate criticisms about a technology (in this case to try and cut through the hype train a bit) are not 'trolls'.
