That’s the point many developers obviously don’t get: it’s not any more effort. It just requires a different way of thinking and therefore a different approach.

Why are you still writing plain HTML and not creating everything with JS if you don’t care about people without? And why are you often writing more HTML than necessary, just to add some JS functionality? Why are you mixing the behavior layer and the content layer when this requires more time in maintenance later on and when you could save that time if investing maybe a little more in advance to keep the layers separate?
