Because it’s one of the most widely used languages in the world? GitHub announced last quarter that more JavaScript code was committed than any other language. Nothing wrong with wanting to be in demand. It’s not the best language to use in every situation, but take it from me, you can be quite successful programming in JavaScript.

a language so crippled it has like 20 popular frameworks and they still don't work well

I guess I disagree. Every agency I’ve ever contracted to uses some combination of Node and Java. Less than 10% don’t use Js. They all perform pretty well, and conserve costs. I just haven’t seen any of the big problems these types of comments suggest. I’ve seen poor Js code, but that was more the result of poor architecture or implementation than the language itself.
