Well, I guess there are a few reasons for all this. Javascript has flaws just like every other language out there. If I were to guess the reasons behind Javascript popularity, I would say that developers use what they know to solve problems. I don't know Ruby for example, I won't use it to solve a problem I have. Javascript is most likely one of the first language new developers come to learn and get familiar with. I know I did. You learn some HTML, some CSS and you start moving to Javascript.
There are a lot of new developers coming in the market without any computer science background and who do not know what 'complexity' means in the programming world. It's difficult to know what is good practice and what is not when you partially know only one language.
So, I don't write everything in Javascript because I believe it's better than everything else. I truly have no fucking idea what I am doing. I write everything in Javascript because, for now, that is the only language I can solve problems with.
