It frustrates me that some websites rely on JavaScript unnecessarily — for example, Twitter actively locks you out with JS disabled. Even worse are the old Apple docs (I don't know if this is still the case) that were literally just the most basic HTML text documents, but were a blank page without JS.
On the other hand, JavaScript can do things that would otherwise be impossible. For example, I have a serverless site that uses JS for search. It's progressive, so you don't really know if you're missing out, but without JS nobody would be able to use that feature.
