People always jump to criticizing JS, but frankly HTML and CSS are my biggest pain points whenever I work with them. Any reasonably complicated UI inevitably turns into a soup of divs. Why would you stick with markup and styling heavily tailored towards documents for an application platform if you could start fresh with something else?
To be fair, CSS is making big strides in this regard with Houdini[0]. It's not yet complete but it's a much better alternative to composing divs and spans in weird ways to get the look you want.
