Js is what you make of it. It can be a godawful mess but it also can be really awesome. It's a really easy language to understand, that is a good thing. But it's also a double edged sword because that means that novices can write absolute spaghetti code in it. That's not the fault of the language though.
Except nit having strict types makes it harder to read, not easier. You have to try to remember what type of data each object contains. Strict typing makes it easier to read. JS is slightly easy to write though, for better or worse, although usually harder to come back to for the same reason mentioned earlier.
