While I don't have a problem with Javascript, I have a problem with the ecosystem around publishing JS for the web. There are so many tools that do more or less the same thing and whose boundaries are unclear. Additionally, when you eventually manage to get everything working it feels brittle (IMHO). For someone that doesn't do that professionally, it is daunting.
Nowadays, the few times I need to build something for the web I use leptos which has a much nicer DX and even if it didn't reach 1.x yet, it feels more stable that chaining like 5 tools to transpile, uglify, minify, pack, ... your JS bundle.
