Not an alternative for you maybe, but a fine alternative for over 99% of the rest of the world running javascript in their browser.

Wikipedia is one of the few initiatives where not being satisfied with 99% accessibility is absolutely warranted. If your goal is to dethrone it, you have to bite that bullet.
It also renders like garbage on mobile, which makes it useless for about 50% of the world. Not a great start.
99% of the users you're talking about won't see any benefit in switching to this alternative from Wikipedia anyway, so what's your point?
His point that the javascript-turner-offers are a vocal, but very small minority.

The mobile issue here is big, and the fact that this effort is just another attempt following a long string of previous failures and has a small chance of success, but that's something different.
