1. HTML (no fashionable crap like Bootstrap or flexbox is capable of giving me somethong as simple as XAML's grid, also dozens of quirks - http://wtfhtmlcss.com).

2. JavaScript (not just dynamic but weak as well + dozens of quirks - http://wtfjs.com).

3. Node.js and its hype, but at least I can avoid it.

I don't really agree with any of these. JS and HTML are both pretty quirky - it's partially a legacy of their success and origins. But so are most languages - I don't really think that HTML, CSS or Javascript are particularly sucky.

Node.js is so last year.

But in all honesty, it's transformed browser development. Common JS is everywhere now

That's not a good thing.

Yeah, standardization & being able to use the largest package manager on the planet really blows!

Ah nevermind, I can see you're very enthusiastic about anything anti-javascript. Carry on
