Let's assume you make a site for power users, those who want to buy
computer parts and books and related stuff like that. Now if you require
JS to have it run, and all the power users refuse to use JS, you've just
killed all your customers. a 6 Million customers with orders which could
get hundreds of millions of dollars, lost because a non-JS wasn't
offered. Don't know about you, but 6 millions people could make or break
your business (Just my opinion).
All the arguments that say you shouldn't require javascript seem to center
around some estimated (and frankly, wildly exaggerated) number of people
who have disabled javascript *and* won't turn it on to use a specific
site. It seems you all have ignored or discredited the data I quoted
which is *actual measured data*.
If we can't agree on facts, it seems we can't really have a rational
argument, so I'll respectfully step away from this.
