I am curious. What are your arguments?

Likely referring to web-apps that require Javascript support and have no fail over code.

This is more a problem with the developer of said site and not an issue with XMLhttprequest as you can build apps that are progressively enhanced for it and don't fail completely when JS/XMLHTTP is disabled.

If you've upvoted or downvoted anyone here on HN, you have benefited from XMLHttpRequest.

HN doesn't use XMLHttpRequest. View source to see that.
