> 1. Hardly any websites work without JavaScript these days. Got to be that guy: that's a circular argument. Other websites are doing X, hence you should do X too. It's as much an argument for docs-as-SPA as it's for having a large Outbrain ad with a picture of some skin disease in your docs. (Disclaimer: I don't hate web apps that don't work without JS — I build them too. But a page of text shouldn't require JS. You can ship the JS-only version as a separate website, but don't force all users to use it)
