Agreed, though it's a lot easier for bad practice to happen with JavaScript than a lot of other languages, and frameworks like this (hopefully) will make for a larger 'pit of success'.
Uuuggghhh, the baseless and ignorant JavaScript hate is a weak argument. It’s not any different than other baseless, weak, ignorant arguments; such as: ______ because _____(protected class) people.
I am paid well to do no work, essentially on retainer, because it’s so common for people to dick this up and then blame the technology for one’s own incompetence. Like anything else it only requires a little bit of practice. Running screaming into the night only to bury your head in the sand behind the magnificent glory of favorite pet framework x isn’t practice.
I describe this to nonprogrammers as hating on pianos because there is too much potential for bad music.
I said it was bad practice that led to the large size of Medium's website, but only 20% of that download size is their application's JavaScript. In what way did the use of JavaScript make it “easier” for the remaining 80% of the download size to happen?

To be fair, working in this industry you could have been doing that without doing JavaScript :)
