Fair point - I kept it to my experience because I don't have any objective empirical sources to draw from, so maybe I shouldn't use that word. I would argue that it is objectively better to have less boilerplate code (hasOwnproperty(), loop var initialization, lack of splats), visual clutter (brackets, braces, etc), strict comparison by default, string interpolation, array range notation, destructuring assignment, etc. My experience does back that up, but again, I can't source any objective empirical evidence. And it's important to have a thorough knowledge and experience with both languages. I find in arguments about CS, there's a lot of knee-jerk reaction from people who haven't given CS a fair shake. It had (has?) a "Ugh, hipster" backlash against it.
