just to be clear, I don't think that JS reason to be enjoyable is that it runs everywhere. I do enjoy the prototypical inheritance, I like the scope and the language in general. I don't like coffeescript but not due to a technical reason, its about personal taste, I'd rather work in JS. To each their own, the fact that we have a non-proprietary language that is available everywhere is a very good thing.
IMHO most people that do not enjoy JS is because they approach it from a mindset of an OOP programmer. People try to treat it like Java or approach it like a toy language to cook quick jQuery script then they feel frustrated. I am not saying that JS is everyones cup of tea but some people like me enjoy it.
