Don't get me wrong: I don't disagree with the sentiment, I'm just saying I doubt I'd even put in the effort of redirecting them to a separate page of any kind if I'd decided that my landing pages should be very javascript heavy.
My prejudiced view is that it's such a small part of the population it's not worth caring about, though I'd be glad to be proven wrong.
If doing pages that require javascript to even run in the first place is a good idea, I think is a different discussion.

It also depends greatly on the kind of web app you are making. If your audience is highly tech-savvy then caring about noscript population will increase your userbase.
- marcusf 15y agoI'll gladly concede the point. It was actually more people running noscript than I thought, and for some markets (I'd also wager tech-savy ones) it might very well be a sizable chunk of users.
