Importance of NOSCRIPT Availability in Web Apps

2 points by Rust ↗ HN
How important is it nowadays to provide a non-Javascript experience for people? I believe that most users currently browse with Javascript enabled (with enough permissions for AJAX to work properly), but if you were writing a web application (not Google Docs, but maybe HackerNews), would you make the effort to have everything working without Javascript as well as with it?

no, too much work for little gain, unless these NOSCRIPT folks were part of my major constituency.

Why don't you track how many people actually have no script before investing time in supporting it?
