I doubt that. Just the opposite: A web page which uses scripting will not be
displayed when NoScript is on. So you don't reach all possible customers.
Believe me, I will reach far less customers by not using Javascript, namely:
zero.
I make a distinction between websites and webapps.
We do not make general purpose websites, but web applications for a
specific audience. There is a huge difference.
These applications must behave and act as a desktop application, this is a requirement.
This is not possible without Javascript.
Then you may ask, why not simply program a desktop application ?
Simple: people do not want an installer or updater.
If it was not for that small detail, I would not touch web programming with
a long stick. No set standards, different and ever-changing browsers, a language
that sucks big time. But alas...
Michael.
