I have to agree, I have been using JS for the last few years and nothing compares to the way I can control an entire form to apply for twelve different products using a single parameter to control everything from fields, links, css, validations and form actions all on the fly in less than 1000 lines of code (including the HTML). Sure you could do this using all sorts of languages, but for the simplest and most compatible plain forms for web use - there is no other way for me!!
Frustrating as JS may be sometimes, especially in browser compatibility (which has become infinitely better in the last few years), I still believe in having a challenge when I'm coding, otherwise what's the point of being in this career?? JS has solved many problems, opened opportunities and taken my coding to a whole new level. Even as I enter a new chapter of my development career, I'm sure JS will be a prominent feature in my applications.
Here's to JS getting a revival........and the recognition it deserves. LONG LIVE THE SCRIPT
