why is that nice? Isn't that like saying, "it's nice because it works on an EGA monitor"? javascript is a much as part of "the web" as html.
1) I don't have enough CPU and memory to run everyone's JavaScript in hundreds of tabs
2) JavaScript is an additional vector for exploits
3) Wayback Machine can't archive and render most JavaScript-only content
4) Most search engines besides Google can't index JavaScript-only content
there are trivial ways around all of these, except the first one and that's just ridiculous anyway.
JS is much like salt for flavoring--the less required the better.
If everything worked in elinks we'd live in a perfect world.
