Not saying that it isn't an important question but if the site doesn't work without js the user will most certainly not enable it just to decide whether the app/site is worth their time.

The instant the site fails the decision has been made.

If your site breaks without js you must at least realize that you will, at the very least, annoy the users who has actively disabled it.

People who look for trouble are apt to find it.

Next, you would have to build a cookieless site, avoid Flash and other annoying videos, fly blind without tracking etc.

> avoid Flash and other annoying videos

I can't think of a single reason why that would be a bad thing.

You say that like its a bad thing! Actually sounds pretty good to me :-) seriously, when building a trite, shouldn't that be th first thing you do, then layer that stuff on top? Sounds like it would actually be easier to test!
