If by "good" you meant "shit, but it's the best tool we have", I would agree.
Haha. That's why I right away said I prefer jQuery to vanilla jscript. But let me say this: the day I gave up on pure server-side and shifted more of the juicy stuff to client-side is the day I started feeling you could spend time doing cool stuff instead of just spending 6 hours a day fucking with hacks to make the CSS look right on both IE and Firefox.
Remember that? The days when nothing fucking worked on more than one browser? HTML5 and the new CSS has almost killed those days, and good riddance.
And that's why I'm suspicious of new proprietary systems: because if they succeed, they are going to do what Microsoft did: deliberately break standard to make people choose their flavor. And that's what Apple, 100%, wants to do: kill Android and Java, and then fuck us all with their standards-breaking bullshit.
