While I agree that a user with JavaScript disabled should not expect all fancy features to work, the site should still be able to present its main content in a non-broken visual environment. A minimal version built only with HTML and CSS, which is then expanded upon with JavaScript. This does appear to be the case with the first warning published on the blog, where the site is put into a "read-only mode" and I disagree with it being listed there, but I come across many other sites which do not display any form of content at all when JavaScript is disabled.

It used to be the case (I haven't checked lately) that certain documentation pages on Apple's site were javascript-only - they were actually blank unless you had javascript on. These were literally just standard text-heavy pages with no discernible client-side behaviour that I ever saw. Whatever side of the argument anyone reading this is on, surely you have to agree that such behaviour is strange in the very least.
