So true. Which ones did you end up using and enjoying the most ?

I'm afraid I don't really have a good answer, I don't think I ever encountered a decent JavaScript for programmers tutorial.

The Mozilla documentation on JavaScript, and (slightly less so) the w3schools.com documentation, are pretty good for reference, but they aren't tutorials. They're not up to the standard of, say, the .Net documentation, but they're still pretty good.

The first one clearly isn't intended for already competent programmers.

The focus of the second one doesn't seem to be on teaching the JavaScript language. [0]

The third one looks like the best bet, but it's still not explicitly aimed at an audience of already competent programmers. [1]

axel rauschmayer's books are pretty good: https://exploringjs.com/

I remember learning the fairly deep == type-inference algorithm by reading something he wrote, but I don't recall which thing it was in. A lot of the material is suitable as reference, so I haven't sat down and read much like a novel.
