Chiming in... Content sites should use progressive enhancement. Sites that are applications (web apps) are probably a better UX if they are client-side/single page apps. I work in TV at the moment, building TV UI's as single-page JavaScript apps. This just would not be possible server-side, even if the server ran on the head-end. Choose the right tool for the job, and most of these complaints fall away. Of course, white listing JavaScript is 100% your prerogative. It's your browser and web experience and it's great that you're free to choose.
