Look, I'm all for progressive-enhancement driven development where it makes sense. But there are (many, many) websites where it doesn't make sense nowadays.

I take it you don't use Youtube? Even for the parts of the web that do work without javascript, enabling js usually offers an enormous improvement in usability. I don't want to reload the page every time I upvote someone on Hacker News for example.

While I don't believe there's a canonical definition of what constitutes a complete web framework, I do agree with your main point though; things like data two-way communication and data-binding shouldn't be a prerequisite for qualification as such. That would imply that 'complete web frameworks' didn't exist before 2011 or so.
