Javascript ain't that bad, it's interacting with browser exposed api variants that sucks but there are many wrappers to solve that issue.

The real annoying part is that by nature it will never have the same amount of IDE niceties you'd get with more typed languages




No, JavaScript has a lot of quirks like the '==' vs '===', empty arrays equalling to false or this kind of stuff: http://stackoverflow.com/a/1995298/398142

I understand JS having its place as being ubiquitously supported in browsers but, just as PHP, it's bad and its problems are not about niceties from IDEs or static typing.
