...which is why there are a lot of web sites that I never use. Look at all that perlmonks does without JavaScript (including listing who is active on the site). I don't mind sites that include non-essential features that require JavaScript (or Java). But I just skip sites that require JavaScript at the start.

Of course, most of those don't even seem to be aware that JavaScript is optional -- the sites just silently break. I find it very rare to run into a site that requires JavaScript and bothers to tell me that.

Not long ago my banking site made a change that required JavaScript to login. They never use JavaScript anywhere else on the site, they just replaced the "login" submit button with several JavaScript buttons. I don't mind the JavaScript buttons if they leave the submit button. I rolled my own tiny HTML file to have my own login page that requires no JavaScript and reported the problem to the site.
