JavaScript is one of the best languages. You can do OOP or FP, it's very malleable and does the perfect job for what it's designed for; i.e. exploit Web APIs.
Other languages are good too. But it's annoying to see such subjective statements against JavaScript.
Well, IMO, Javascript is too malleable. You're more likely to get unpredictable behavior than an outright error when your logic is backwards. Anything goes.
There are going to be people who dislike any language. I'm a C++ programmer, and I hear a lot of complaints about that, but I don't let it get to me. Besides, I'm not going to pretend it doesn't have sharp edges.
So, if you like working with the "malleability" of JS, you are definitely welcome to it. I just am not required to like that same unpredictability.
P.S. Yes, I know the language. I hate it on that basis.
