I ask because I don't believe the JS ecosystem is notably worse than the Python ecosystem or the Java ecosystem and I'm tired of the meme of railing on JS developers when what people are really railing against is developers in general.

All ecosystems that are sufficiently popular have terrible problems. They have different problems, but none is consistently pleasant to work with. Out of all of them, though, JS gets singled out for constant attacks because... reasons.

I just want people to identify what those reasons are so we can have a conversation about them rather than just endlessly repeating the meme.
