1. It's trendy. Snooty programmers use them.
2. It's hyped. Annoying masters of hyperbole won't shutup about it.
3. javascript is already easy to write, easy to read, easy to use, and well understood.
But really it's because I despise hype at such a deep and fundamental level; it leads people to being impulsive and emotional; making decisions based on personal reasons rather than finding the right tool fo the job.
countless times i've seen people work significantly longer and harder with the hype technology then if they had just been solid project managers and made good decisions regardless of what is being currently blogged about.
other times i've had legacy systems that were built in the super-trendy tech of yesteryear that was a fly-by-night and nobody uses any more ...
sometimes you will have managers for instance, that wlil request something like perl code to be rewritten in ruby or some other rearranging of the deck chairs kind of activity. It's a complete and utter waste of time. I'd rather go home and click on all those nsfw tags ...
so yeah, no freakin' way; unless there is native support, it's been around for a few years, and there is actual real solid evidence that it doesn't suck (extra time that is) for a similar goal.
