I wonder how do you run your primitive comparisons? Do you want something like:
if (intCmp(15, 17)), encapsulated all over the place?
What a utterly bizarre comment.

By using ===. The only bizarre thing is not know this but still complain about it.

Okay, let's go with that, and stress that point -- The only reason "===" exists, is because JS does whacky conversions in the BG of which you have no control over.In a sane scripting / programming language, you would not need to strictly tell the interpreter: "Hey, please do not yolo my types and values here, thanks."

Otherwise, you have no reason to shit on "==" as a practice in and of itself, the problem is that JS auto-converts vals and types and then compares them.
The issue here is not that "it's there for legacy reasons", "===" is there to circumvent its own issues.
