The main thing is that JavaScript has become more or less the 'assembler' of the web. You don't need to use javascript if you don't like the language (pick any other like typescript, coffeescript, reason, kotlin etc).

Even if it has bad parts, overall you can do enough things with the language. Every programming language has flaws, and the more you use it the more you'll find weird quirks or edge cases.
