Discussion on: Should browsers still allow users to disable JavaScript?

My thoughts on the subject at hand are what I have expressed numerous times over the past few days alone: We should actively contribute to the common knowledge. It is our job to explain why "oooh, it's shiny" also means "oooh, it runs other people's code on my computer".

38.9 percent - a surprisingly small number! - of all voters seem to consider their web browser to be a replacement for an actual operating system. Now DEV is rather web-focused in some aspects, and you'd get very different results in a C community or something...

There is no excuse for a website to not display anything without JavaScript enabled. Many web developers make that mistake though, thinking that "nobody disables JavaScript anyway". Let us change that!
