I don't think everyone is necessarily happy with JavaScript, but it is the de-facto standard, and there is no realistic alternative. Sure, we could add a new language, but with various competing implementations we will probably get at least the same amount of interoperability problems as we have had with JavaScript. And because of backwards compatibility browsers will still have to support JavaScript indefinitely in addition to the new language.
