JavaScript has matured beyond the evil it was when I first started in web development. I think in some communities there is still a major stigma. I attended a recent web developer group here in Raleigh and the majority seemed to still have strong negative feelings about its use. The truth is, with frameworks like jQuery it's dirt simple to write clean unobtrusive behavior code and it makes writing it a joy. Case in point, I took a 30 line inline javascript function that incorrectly counted the number of words in a textarea. In just a few minutes I was able to rewrite it as 3 lines of jQuery code.
