There're 2 things about that from an experienced JavaScript-hater (but

1. We aren't talking about all of JavaScript, but a recent features
added to JS.
2. JS has real money being poured into it, and no longer designed on
two-week vacations, when nobody looks. On the JS committees/proposal
author lists are guys who have publications in serious programming
language design matters and "grown up" languages, like proverbial
Haskell. And they peer-review each other. So, with due understanding of
the baseline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_by_committee process,
some recent features in JS are well-designed.
Maybe, but the problem is that they're cripplingly constrained by their
unwillingness to ever remove features or change old behavior. So to the
extent that features are "well-designed" they're only well-designed to
fit into the crappy design that already exists.
