That's a rather egregious false dichotomy. You can separate your content completely from your JavaScript code, but that does not mean that your content is formatted as plain HTML. In fact, I would argue that storing your content within a page's HTML structure while separating content and functionality is exceedingly difficult, and that if you want to maintain that separation of concerns, you need to store your data in a totally separate format, and then write code that generates the HTML structure based on that format. Then, taking that HTML and enhancing it with JavaScript (aka progressive enhancement) is also a violation of separation of concerns, and I would argue against it in any but the very simplest of cases. Instead, you should use JavaScript to operate on the raw data and display it to the user. You can then also write server-side code that generates a plain-HTML rendering of that same content, but that is more work, and that means it's a trade-off. And I think in many cases that trade-off is worthwhile. But this idea that it somehow saves you time in the long run and doesn't end up costing you is pure fantasy. >But you or everyone else on the JS bandwagon God, that's annoying. My pointing out a flaw in a particular argument does not imply that I am "on the bandwagon" opposing that argument. I think that making your content accessible without JavaScript is a good idea whenever possible, but I do not think it is useful to pretend that you can do so without trade-offs. I don't have to agree with an argument just because I agree with its conclusion.
