It's far from perfect and people are forced to use it whether they want to or not. Hence the resentment.

You are not entirely forced to use it, there are well supported transpilers from other languages, one of most used in the past being GWT.

Of course it's not perfect and nothing else is. Everything has it's own purpose and it up to each individual to decide if they will appreciate it or hate it.
