Every language and framework has it warts, and the ones in JS/Node could fill a library.
You pick your poison.
Not disagreeing on JS/Node... I will say I get so much better velocity in terms of practical work done with my time. But I've also seen people do some goofy things in JS, but will counter that most people are snooty about it and don't bother actually learning the language, reminds me a lot of VB a couple decades ago (the culture against it).
There's two decades of answers and examples out there, many of which don't work. Not to mention many third party libraries that do stuff that's now in the box.
Biggest gripe to me, is lack of in the box support for PEM files in the crypto library. There are others, Core 3 breaks DI for logging in the Startup is another big one.
In the end, it's decent... I'd still largely rather use Node, or if I need more performance Rust of even Go. I will say I don't hate it, it's just frustrating finding examples and answers.
