I always think of Java as the absolute gold standard of stack traces. Sure, in any given debugging session I don't care about most of the stack. But across all sessions, I've used all parts of the trace and I wouldn't want anything elided.
JS is my least-favorite because it provides a stack-trace so I get tricked into thinking it'll be useful. But since it doesn't cross callbacks it provides no depth.
