I agree. Javascript can do cool stuff. When the author said:

...it made me think about how you can often do cool thing by taking advantage of some browser functionality, then you look it up on caniuse.com and it's only available on 75% of browsers. Much worse than using a few lines of JS that can't be used by 1% of users.
