I don't really consider that a good reason.

Yes, I'm in favor of keeping fproxy for developers and other people with "niche" requirements, those people can continue to work on fproxy per their needs. But the majority of the project's UI efforts must be on making Freenet easy and pleasant to use for the majority of users, rather than pandering to lynx users and those that are morally opposed to Javascript for some reason.
