It's also seen as less powerful because it's more confusing (dynamically types and the wacky cross-browser implementations being the main sources of this in my experience). Some of that is also legacy leftover of javascript as a scripting language being conflated with "that script you use to do rollovers" in the ie-netscape days.
As you say, javascript as a language is plenty powerful, see what can be done in unity and flex for examples.
...so I get a mug?
Actually, scrolling on tablets is dead fucking simple and ridiculously intuitive.
What problem is Opera even fixing?
Agreed, sorta.
If you play brinksmanship with the company, you poison the relationship.
I was in a similar situation though the other offer was lot more money but a slightly worse working condition. I approached my boss, told him about it, that I was conflicted, and pointed to some problems in the company. The company was a startup and not yet flush with cash so I told them upfront I didn't expect them to match the pay, and I just wanted to make an informed decision. I got a smallish salary bump, but some organizational issues got resolved and my boss had the ammo to say "our key guy is gonna split if we don't address this". In the end the company got better and I got most of what I wanted. More money would have been nice, but the company is a much improved place to work at, I'm happier for it, and have additional trust in my boss.
The lesson I took from this is as follows: if you trust your boss, lay it out for them, including what you want. Don't play the "do this or I'll leave" card, or you may as well leave. Give them your POV and make it a discussion, not a negotiation. This hinges on you trusting your boss and being prepared to make compromises. If you aren't prepared to make compromise (which is fine), just leave. If you don't trust your boss enough to do this, just leave.

Your comment tagline says "Anonymous Coward" but your comment screams Zach De La Rocha. How's Tom?
Yeah, Monster ones are the best, they have better fidelity, ensuring your 1's are totally 1 to the max, and the 0's are dead flat.

Aye, but passwords are transmitted in the clear.
I like this one:

Can set length, include different sets of character classes (helpful sometimes to turn off punctuation for the idiotic apps/sites that block punctuation in passwords)
And yet there's no complex life there, either...
