Lots of things don't work without JavaScript.

I think it looks great. No scrolling!

Makes me think of the first reply to this StackOverflow question:

Heh. It took me a lot longer than Steve here to set up App Engine on my current computer, and setting up XAMPP on my last computer to run a local server took a fraction of the effort. I don't use an IDE, either; I use Notepad++ for ALL my coding, so that's another trouble I don't have in any case.

GAE may allow you to set up a server visible to the entire Internet, but I think my fonder memories will be reserved for other tools.
