I'd be interested to hear why you think null shouldn't be used often, and what you would suggest using instead? I use it all the time and can't think of anything that fits better for the concept of "nothing". I can't think of any times when I've used it and been bitten by it either, and in fact I think it's a more solid way of coding than the other ways I've gone with over the years, for example "undefined" can be confused with a property not being present at all, false is no use if the value is supposed to be either boolean or nothing, similar problem with the other falsy values - whereas going for the something === null check is always going to work, and is nice and explicit.
