I believe the amount of hate and mockery Javascript receives is heavily skewed, simply because almost every programmer who is active today has at least some experience with the language, and with more users there are also more people capable of complaining about it.

I work with languages that are much worse than Javascript, yet they don't receive nearly as much hate because hardly anyone uses them.

One that comes into my mind is ABAP:

My colleagues and I joke around that SAP stands for Sadness and Pain.
