TBH, type coercion in JS is terrible both as a concept and as an implementation. As many other things in JS. But that doesn't mean anyone should "prefer Python instead".

Among those potential bugs are possibilites like starting to actually love JavaScript.
And in particural the == operator because it saves so much typing when you actually learn the simple coercion rules.
;)

There're a lot of potential bugs that can emerge from using JavaScript. I suggest that everyone use Python instead. Always.

You should always be wary of someone who tells you to "always" do something. They're usually wrong.
