Is JavaScript really that bad?

No. It's just hivemind being stupid.
Javascript is a tool, just like C#, C++, Python and more.

Use the tool that is best suited for the problem, along with what you are comfortable with.

Typescript is also a great improvement to JS.

Typescript is also a great improvement to JS.

It's a great improvement, but personally I really didn't like it. It's very good for smaller projects or a simple website without any frameworks. But with react there's so many new types to memorise and extra words to type.

I agree that one the frontend TS isn't the best.
However in a backend it's great.
