Rick you might be right in some audiences but I think you may be wrong in many other audiences. Larger corporations, for instance, do much more extensive security filtering. They can block javascript/activeX/etc at the firewall and they can also enforce browser settings at the desktop level. The end user may not have any participation in the security decisions nor even know that javascript has been disabled for them. They just know that some things don't work. That's a recipe for bad user experience. In general, my approach is to make javascript optional for all front end tools with an unknown audience and then tailor the use of javascript/flash/etc. in admin applications to the expected audience since it is likely to be a much better known user base.
