Same here. I've used a number of scripting languages including awk, Perl, 
BASIC, JEAN (similar to DEC Focus), PHP, Python and bash and have tried 
to use Javascript, which I could not get on with at all. Its 
documentation seemed very poor and I really hated its debugging and 
diagnostic capabilities. All the other languages I mentioned have better 
debugging and diagnostics, with awk, Perl, PHP, Python and bash being 
outstandingly better.

I can develop much faster in awk, PHP and Bash than in the others.
