Perhaps not for the most common case (just typing in search terms and viewing results). But it does break some important things, the most annoying one for me is that you cannot link to the JavaScript-infested result pages like the expanded image search results. How do you send someone the result of an image search ("images foo" does not even work all the time and it's not the expanded view)?

That's actually a valid gripe, I think. Have you submitted this as feedback?
