My preference is sites that don't need large volumes of extra files to download to work, then sites that don't need Javascript, then sites that will degrade gracefully when Javscript is disabled, then sites that don't work without Javascript enabled. HTML is for content. Javascript is for manipulating content client-side in a way that can't be easily expressed in markup. What I find more disturbing is the growing tendency to use Javascript as a general hammer for browser frontend, backend and app client. In particular I have a special dislike for electron apps that fulfill functions better suited to native apps, such as terminals and file transfer clients. I accept that there are many people here who think Javascript is brilliant, but I assure you that while it has it's place, it isn't always the best tool for the job.
