I love the language - it is earning me a comfortable income and I am very productive in it, but it requires experience and iron code discipline not to let it bite you!
Well, then I strongly disagree. Modern JS is very easy to write, but extremely complex because of all the leftover cruft. For example, a beginner can declare a varible with let, const, var or (what could be easier) nothing at all. The resulting scoping rules, however, are anything but simple.
