Oh my, are we having the same old and lame discussion about JavaScript again?

Your argument is based on the wrong perception. First of all, you should not take the bad examples as role models. Then, the fact that another site is
using JavaScript does not mean that it is non-functional without. Have you actually tried it or are you just saying things about which you have no idea to state your case?
Also, you should perhaps read the site you quoted all the way to the end and not just look at the first pie chart that comes to sight because it also states:

A potentially significant amount of your prospects doesn’t use JavaScript – and you will never know.
If your site’s functionality relies on JavaScript you’ll have no clue just how much business you’re missing because people have JavaScript turned off.

Besides these facts, why would you do a crappy half baked job if you could do a
good job? Why piss off people if it wouldn’t even be a significant amount of work to please them, too?
And seeing your ignorance towards other people I suppose you aren’t even following the most basic principles of proper web development/JS programming which are
behavioral separation,
unobtrusive JavaScript, and
progressive enhancement which are actually deeply related to each other. Because if you
would follow even just
one of those you would inevitably come to the conclusion that you’re putting the cart before the horse.
But whatever, go ahead and do your crappy jobs, and dismiss any advice from seasoned, responsible developers. I’ve stated my case and am not gonna argue any further.
