“JavaScript sucks because '0' == 0!”
- literally everyone ever
I never really understood the hate for this, given that everything is a string in HTTP, and that SQL does the same damn thing. There are far more annoying things about JS (both the language and the ecosystem).
Moreover, it was kind of a standard for any scripting language at that time. In other words, this was generally expected behavior. (E.g., compare AWK, Perl, etc.)
The article didn't even mention it. If you actually read, it's more about things that are not necessarily too annoying from a programmer's pespective, but is very much for anyone working on the platform.

Literal first thing in the article - it's a block quote right under the title.
