There are pros and cons to using JS. GJS has only collected the negative features of JS. If there is some guarantee for JS applications that it will work in a few years, then each new GNOME release breaks half of the extensions. Enabling and disabling an extension freezes the system for 8-10 seconds.

And it would be fine if GNOME extensions were too functional... But in fact, the functionality of GNOME extensions lags behind conky or XFCE in capabilities by at least 10 years.
