JS is okay to write these days. I enjoy the fact that maps (objects), arrays, and functions are its native data language. But it's still weakly typed, which leads to all sorts of insane confusion during development. Above all, almost all of its libraries and frameworks are highly opinionated, try to monopolize the application architecture, lead to poor performance, and teach completely nontransferable skills that are useful almost nowhere else.

In general, minimizing the amount of JS you write improves all of these issues across the board. A minimum of JS is easy to debug and ridiculously fast.
