With ES6, the only thing I'm missing in Javascript is static typing. Other than that, it has become a very nice language. There are some ugly sides, as in every language, but for the most part you can simply opt out of using these parts.
ES6 did some nice things but at the core the language was never meant to be code more than 100 lines or so of code.
You can tell when it didn't have module or package system in place from the get go. Also strict typing whether dynamic or static really goes along way in term of code maintainability especially more so when you're doing tons of lines of code.
So I guess this reply is to say you can't really opt out of Javascript's hideous wart of all imo.
Yes, defenitely one of the biggest problems. However, after switching to === and never using == again, I've found that it's easy to avoid implicit conversions and I haven't had a problem with it in years. I totaly agree they should remove implicit conversions from javascript by yesterday, though.

Lot's of things aren't meant to be used the way they are but things evolve.
