It is indeed in bad hands. No language designer / guru ever that I know ever come close to exploring its Good parts. I'm talking Anders Hejlsberg / James Gosling / Douglas Crockford level here...
I wouldn't say that Crockford really "explored JavaScript's good parts".
Rather, he just covered parts of JavaScript that shouldn't be used, and whatever wasn't completely broken was considered to be "good". It isn't truly good, however. It's just not "severely bad" like the rest of JavaScript is.
