Dictionary.com: 1. regarded with favor, approval, or affection by people in general 2. regarded with favor, approval, or affection by an acquaintance or acquaintances: 3. of, relating to, or representing the people, especially the common people: 4. of the people as a whole, especially of all citizens of a nation or state qualified to participate in an election: 5. prevailing among the people generally: 6. suited to or intended for the general masses of people: 7. adapted to the ordinary intelligence or taste: 8. suited to the means of ordinary people; not expensive: I have always associated popular with definition 1. Let me ask differently: do people really like JavaScript or they like web and JavaScript is forced upon them since there are no alternatives (and they actually dislike/hate it)? |
