For all its faults and however badly it started out, JS has been hardened in the market to fit a lot of use cases. In terms of the *outcomes* you can create with it and a modern browser, it is exceeding the capabilities of most other ways of getting apps in the hands of users. It might not be as elegant as C# and WPF, but WPF is obscenely slow, platform bound ... and dead. No user of your application gives a shit what the source code looks like, so long as it exceeds their expectations and provides values. Thems where the money is. David.
