When wasn't it like this.. raw js, NN4 DOM, IE4 DOM, W3C DOM, Prototype.js, mootools, jQuery, extjs, etc.
C/C++ also haven't sat still either, there are always new hotness in any language. For a language that interacts with UI asynchronously, JS has moved in a direction that tends to make it easier to user, even if it changes in the common use case. I remember the bad old days in the mid-late 90's, I'll take today's JS ecosystem.
