Given that LISPers have argued for "lambda the ultimate kitchen utensil/sinks/cooks" for the last few decades, it's slightly annoying that people from other languages repeat the point now.

Personally I find excessive use of lamdas create unmaintainable and incredibly difficult to debug spaghetti code. The idea that JS developers should make their code even more LISP-like is enough to give me nightmares.
