Oh, I agree that just about all apps use JavaScript to some degree, but the question is whether that’s for progressive enhancement or as a fundamental requirement. Wikipedia for example works fine without JS (including editing). Pinboard is one of my favourite apps and uses hardly any JS. That one’s perhaps a bit niche, but hell, even Gmail and Facebook still maintain basic “HTML versions” that deliver reasonable (some might say better) user experiences without JavaScript.

I build single-page web apps for a living, so I’m by no means opposed to JavaScript, but I think the web would be worse off if browsers imposed it as a requirement.
