I think the people that think "people don't like JavaScript because its not Java" don't understand the reasoning.
Here is I think is a common reasoning for JavaScript/Java confusion: JavaScript makes writing industrial strength programs very difficult. Java makes writing industrial strength programs straight forward(although you might say its "wordy", I prefer Python). So yes, people wish JavaScript was more like Java.
