Yeah, especially if built against a modern V8, with all or most of the 
ES6 stuff. Without template strings and lexically scoped variables it's 
very unpleasant for large functions, but with them it's usable.  It's 
also something a very large number of people are familiar with. As you 
say it's damn fast.
