because it's javascript hah, well, I love the ecosystem which may be sometimes (a lot of times actually) overwhelming but the thing is, we just have to use what we need so the feeling of being really overwhelmed will faint. The community is really cool and I'm really comfortable with writing JavaScript and I can do a lot with it, on the front-end or on the back-end.
Still, If I'll need to use another programming language, I'd love to, I'll pick the 'best' one for me, the one I feel comfortable with, and the one who has a good community.
Actually it's like dating a star, the more the fans , the more you love it, well I guess dating stars doesn't go that way but, get the idea? lol

The front-end/back-end thing is what really attracts me to JavaScript, despite the quirks of the language - it's really nice to not constantly be flitting between two different syntaxes if you're developing on both sides of the fence!

I definitely agree with you about the community, too, there's a lot of really good people in the JS world.
