== vs ===

I'd say yes. Because in both languages it means essentially the same thing. The double equal means equal to. The triple equal means identical. Let's put it this way. You have in JavaScript and other languages the idea of truthy or falsey. We could have a comparison like this:

var x = 0;

var isFalsey = x == false;
var isFalsey2 = x === false;

If you run that in the console you'll see that the first isFalsey returns true. The second one returns false. This is because while x is falsey it is not explicitly equal to (or identical) to false. Using the explicitly equals to/identical to is a great way to ensure that you're checking for what you're intending to check for and that your code behaves the way you intend it to.
