Fair enough :). I think 'great' is a bit of a vague concept, but I definitely would agree that it's far from awful.
I remember when I wrote a lot of JS back in the day ("Javascript: The Good Parts"), I did feel that stripped from the bad parts, I often preferred the elegance of the basic good parts over, say, Ruby and its "blocks, procs and lambda's" (for example).
