As a .Net programmer, if you detest Javascript (as I do), you can also use F# and Fable to write single page web-applications. It won't save you from the vagaries of HTML and CSS though - you still need to know this. I personally use Elm (which is similar to F# + Fable) - but it's far more bullet-proof (run-time errors are exceptionally rare), although you're no longer in the Microsoft eco-system (for better or worse).
If you're writing web-applications for a company though, I still think Angular or React is the easier sell to management; yes it's more complex, more clunky, and will take longer to write - but at least finding other Angular or React resources is fairly trivial.
