Even people who like JS think it's clumsy and not well designed. I love the asynchronous-by-default nature of JS and I certainly don't hate the language as a whole, but it can be a weird mess. Consider type coercion, the way Date doesn't store timezones, the legacy implementation of parseInt() that tried to detect the radix, etc. From a lisp perspective it has many of the usual problems of C descendants, too.
