Don't tell me how to enable JavaScript

"Personally, I've never seen a website that delivers content that absolutely needed it."

Really? Etherpad, Google Wave, Google Docs. Every HTML5 game I've ever seen. Aviary, Picnik, Picozu. etc.

I generally agree with the point that most sites that present text to a screen don't absolutely NEED JS to work, but there are a myriad of apps out there that do.

I don't disagree with you in any way :-) these are web apps, not just plain websites with something like a commenting system.

Even with these web apps, I think its best to explain why JavaScript is needed. Except for google analytics, I'm still a huge fan of Unobtrusive JavaScript, if only because it makes for cleaner site organisation and code separation.
