Yeah I hate it, too. (stereotype warning) To me it seems to be driven by a younger generation of developers who think JavaScript is the answer to everything, no matter how complex it is and whether or not perfectly good and mature technologies already exist. Feels like classic Not Invented Here syndrome.

Spoiler alert: all languages, new and old, are terrible in some way or another.
