3) JavaScript is a highly suitable language for what the Mozilla Framework uses it for - binding front-ends to back-ends. This is not your web-page scrolling-text document.forms JavaScript; JavaScript is an excellent OO, weakly-typed language with some handy features (e.g. prototypes) you won't find in any other mainstream language.
Having learned tens of programming languages, I have finally found the one that has everything I need and is fun to program. And no, it is not JavaScript. Need I continue?
Here is yet another angle: I have a fairly large project that is written in a language that is neither C/C++, nor JavaScript. To use XUL in new GUI for this project, I'd have to add advanced JavaScript to the list of skills of my developers.
