That's, IMO, is another discussion. This JavaScript you talking about are written by programmers that often don't know JavaScript well and uses it as a little glue language on the client. That's poorly written JavaScript.

Both feel a lot different. Comparing it in a given scenario may be valid, comparing they without any context at all feels like apples and oranges.
