That's completely illogical.
If it creates more problems than it solves, it is a problem. Not being able to use freenet without Javascript would be a problem. Dillo has no Javascript support. Neither have w3m, lynx, and a whole bunch of other low- profile browsers. Mainly used by geeky people - who are a natural target audience for freenet. I don?t mind a good Javascript UI. But Sone was actually the first really useful example for that which I ever saw. Yahoo is a really good counter- example: they even reimplemented tabs in Javascript? Javascript has to be complementary, though: The UI has to work without it. And it can. After all, a reload of a local page is blazingly fast (when there are no other bottlenecks). Also there are many points on the UI side which could be improved that don?t need JS. Better download-queue, integrated WoT and Sone (well, that benefits from JS), and so on. On the other hand, drag-and-drop uploading with image previews and all that is quite a usability booster. So I am not against JS (anymore). I am just against requiring it.
