It might just depend on one's previous experience. I've not been very impressed with Javascript the language. I've been a C++ programmer for years, so I'm well practised at being happy with what I have now rather than wishing for something better. But I find it difficult to be happy with a language that doesn't have proper block scope and won't even check function arity. (Dear computer, stop being so damn lazy.) But, sadly, it fills a hole that nothing else does.
