Actually Griffs analogy is bloody good.
There's a whole raft of people who think a McDonalds is good food when it most clearly isn't. Just because something has a large user base, qv Smoking, it does not follow that it is any good. Popularity is not the same as Quality. JavaScript is to quality code what McD's is to fine dining.
Argument. Closed.

There's not mulch I can say. You compost what you like in the lounge - but sticking to puns befits you.

Nope[^]. It's only the most used because it's easy to learn and because it's your only choice for the web.
The language has serious design flaws.
Sure, it's easy to crank up a little script and run it in your browser. Unfortunately, it's even easier to introduce subtle and less subtle bugs and write code that's completely not maintainable.
JavaScript gives you a false sense of safety. It's like riding a bike with those little side wheels and then riding head first into a ravine.
But sure, if you think 1 + [1] equals 11 and 1 + ["h"] is NaN (or something like that), go ahead and give JavaScript some praise

I can give dozens of examples where that was (and is), indeed, the case. Here's one: religions throughout the ages.

Well, that's a bit unfair. The examples you listed should demonstrate that JavaScript is not able clean garbage produced by some programmers, not JavaScript in itself is garbage
OK, yes, in somesense, it is, as any untyped language is ...

You can output garbage in any language, JavaScript just makes it that much more easy than other languages

One thing that gave me multiple wtf's is the arguments object. It's array-like, but not an array (actual bug) and it's shared on the page so passing it to a function does you no good (although I haven't checked if arguments[0] === arguments, but knowing JavaScript that's probaby NaN or some such  ).

Bolded the important bit. Almost isn't good enough in many places. And this[^] table still has an awful lot of red in it.

Finally a constructive answer.
So far, desktop browsers are pretty much covered. Then i guess that android browser is the biggest missing piece

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

It did - but it was removed when the offsite backup was made as it was clearly redundant.
