Javascript WAS terribly designed but still allowed su to do amazing things. I would argue that in the last 3 years its come a long way and is no longer a terrible language.
I think complications of today came from the problems of its past where it was taken for granted that you needed a framework to get around browser differences.
My personal and professional view has been use plain vanilla modern JS. Make an informed decision on whether using a framework makes sense for your particular project.
If you're making a mess of JS, its more likley you need to re-evaluate your approach to the problem rather than the easy thing to do which is to blame the language.
