Variable scoping, unavoidable global namespace pollution, === vs == insanity, etc.

But how do libraries help you from that?

Kitchen sink libraries like jquery + jquery ui save you from having to write much JavaScript at all beyond basic glue code. The less JavaScript I write, the happier I am. This is in stark contrast to other languages I work in where I actually like to roll my own frameworks.
