>For example the very loud minority with disabled JavaScript (because it’s the enemy) complaining that sites don’t work without it and that the web is dead. While in the real world no one cares. I'm one of those people. I guess people with slow connections, security-conscious, screen-reader users, users of text-mode browsers, and users of older devices, are not part of the real world for you. Many people outside of HN care about this issue, they just don't know how to verbalize it because they don't know what JS is. Instead, they see it as "site doesn't work" or "site tells me to fuck off because my browser isn't good enough." It's not "negativity", it's wanting to make the Web an accessible place for everyone, not just people with fast hardware on fast connections. To me, "negativity" is writing off an opinion because I don't know how to writer a proper website with progressive enhancement.
