Angular and Backbone applications aside, doesn’t this just boil down to bad development and lack of understanding? I’m a firm believer that the web should be usable with JavaScript disabled, JavaScript is there to add a layer of interactivity to your web page, not core function. All those people that keep coming up to me quoting ‘but everyone has JavaScript enabled’ miss the point - the web needs to be accessible and JavaScript isn't the answer.

All those people that keep coming up to me quoting ‘but everyone has JavaScript enabled’ miss the point - the web needs to be accessible and JavaScript isn't the answer. Accessible to who? Because most real life screen readers and such perform quite well in actual tests with JS pages. >JavaScript is there to add a layer of interactivity to your web page, not core function. Again, says who? Why should I have to write my web code with twice as much effort, once with all the nice things I can do with JS and another for the 1% of users without Javascript?
