Yes I like JavaScript a lot, not so much all these fancy frameworks there are these days for it (though jQuery is great).

Been coding in JS for over 15 years and recently having fun with Canvas, the Audio API, and some 3D libraries such as Babylon JS.

I think the only really bad thing about frameworks is that people think they need to use them all the time. Not every website needs to be a web app.

The kind of work you mention is a great example of when you don't need a framework, and it's better to stick to the essentials.
