That is a pretty strong argument which I agree with. The somewhat dismissive answer I could give around JS in Emacs is that if I wanted to write JS so badly that I was willing to rewrite the ecosystem in order to do it, I'm not sure why I shouldn't just use VS Code.
I'm floating the idea that JS would be a good fit for a lot of these problems, but it is correct to ground that with the idea that having 2 separate coding languages in a text editor just feels weird and cumbersome and I don't know, isn't the ecosystem fragmented enough? I can't actually avoid Elisp in Emacs and I wouldn't be able to just because Javascript was added.
