Ah! The opinion of someone who cares nothing about the functionality of the web as a whole.

JavaScript shouldn't be considered essential to use a website. If it is, the site has failed as it's job.

Not if you want to give the user decent affordances in the UI on non-HTML5 browsers.

That depends on what you mean. I _prefer_ UIs that have no Javascript on them, even since before HTML5.
