While I was partially playing Devil's Advocate, I'd would definitely agree up to the point where you said JS is simple. I personally think it's awful and we should all collectively feel ashamed that Javascript tends to be the first "code" anyone dips their toe into when starting out in our field.

I've never wanted for better guides, books, and tutorials online for any of the languages I've gotten into. Specifically Golang and Java have both been much more approachable for me in recent months because I feel like I don't need a degree in rocket surgery just to open the IDE.

Maybe that's my problem. I'd rather not have to learn an IDE at the same time I'm having to learn a language. Now that I think about it, I also hated VS (but not Eclipse or the Jetbrains products).

Thanks, Doc ;) I think I just figured out my big problem!
