Why?
Instead of building for 0.5% of users that can just enable JavaScript, why shouldn't I invest the time into building a new feature, writing more unit tests, or writing an app for Windows Phone?
- onion2k 9y agoFor the same reason we build features in websites that work for blind people (aria tags everywhere), disabled people (accessible buttons), people who speak different languages (i18n), VIM users (GMail keyboard shortcuts), etc. We choose who we build for. If you want to ignore 0.5% of your users then that's your choice, but don't complain when you submit something to HN and get a page of responses saying it doesn't work.
