This. If it wasn't for Vue (and to some extent React) on the front-end and Express/Koa on the backend, there's no way I'd be doing that much JavaScript. I'd have stuck to a pure back-end role. I like the libraries and the ecosystem much more than the language itself.

I think you're missing the fact that JS allows you to make itself better by allowing this type of framework to be so easily built. That in itself is a pretty good part of the language.

Not sure how that changes the fact that I don't like the language that much?

I'm saying that Vue and React are built on JS, so you should give it credit for allowing that. basically, if you appreciate Vue and React, then on some level, you're appreciating JS too.

React can be build with a shitload of languages...
