This doesn't need to be Javascript vs Python war. There's room for them both to be easy to develop on.

Window-like layouts in a browser is a snap! Simply markup your elements in a DIV, you can even dress it up using CSS, then use Javascript to manipulate it (show/hide/rotate/opacity/width/height/position/destroy/duplicate/change contents/etc). Instant window. Honestly, it takes 1min max.

Easy in that all you have to do is hit refresh in the browser to quickly run your code. It's very forgiving for rapid prototyping/development. Again, I didn't say that python, by implication, is less easy.

I appreciate and respect your opinions. I think in this case, we've a clash of perspectives. Perhaps some day you'll get into DOM/Javascript development and grow to appreciate it. It's really quite fun and forgiving, and I'd highly recommend it!
