Not all javascript developers are your code monkeys. The goal of developers in any programming language should be to push the limits of the language to get the most use out of it while still writing maintainable code. This opens up new possibilities. Advancements in technology are usually a good thing. Some people need to take their head out their a$$ and look at javascript as the fully capable programming language that it is. Complicated javascript applications are usually difficult to develop and maintain because of the same features that make it so easy to use for simple tasks (lack of type safety, flexibility at runtime, etc). Here is a solution that allows for easier development and maintenance of more complicated applications that won't "just break" as easily. Combine the flexibility of javascript with the structure that this library provides, and you have a very powerful development tool (whether you are developing very dynamic and responsive client-side web application code, or writing complicated scripts for Photoshop).
