I strongly agree. It's fine if you want to use javascript to augment appearance and behavior, but if a blog post won't load something basically readable in lynx or w3m or similar, you've taken a wrong turn somewhere.
I could care less as long as my browser loads it. I don't surf the internet with cURL though, so it doesn't really effect me.
that's like saying that "if you can't print it on punch cards it's all bad". the progress didn't stop with lynx. probably good 90% of the modern internet won't work without javascript
