Try learning it before you use it next time.
Given that the few *actual* complaints about it (not empty 'it sucks' rhetoric) seem to be simple misunderstandings about the language (this, classes, etc.) I'm willing to bet that the problem is the user, not the language.
Really, it's not complicated. It's really very simple. It's different, yes, but far simpler than other, less sophisticated, languages. Take a few days to learn and understand the language. You'll be impressed. It's remarkably well-designed.
