Just so you know, I am recent graduate from the Fullstack Academy (http://www.fullstackacademy.com/) bootcamp which focuses on the MEAN stack (JavaScript only stack). I did decide to go to a JavaScript focused bootcamp because of the fact that I would be using the same language (JavaScript) on the front end, back end and in the database. I believe this allowed me to help learn the principles of web development better since I did not have to learn anything else like (ruby, python, or php lets say).

So I found it nice that I am using the same language on the front, back and in the database which maybe why there are a lot of people using it.

However, with that being said, I think that there is a lot of "good stuff" happening around the whole web development landscape and not just with JavaScript.
