They both have exact meanings. But people, especially new contributors new to JS, frequently use "==" without understanding the nuances and footguns involved. In Firefox OS/Gaia I think the emergent convention[1] is that you should always use "===" unless you have a specific need to use "==" and in that case you should have a comment explaining exactly why you want the coercing behaviour. I, at least, do this in all my reviews. And I find this disambiguates things nicely and helps me as a reviewer in understanding the expected data-flow of the code I'm reviewing.
