People should not be prioritizing no-JS users. No one turns off JavaScript.

If you keep the JS to a minmum, you have

  1. less work maintining that shit, HTML/CSS is patient
  2. better user experience

So much forms and textboxes don't save content anymore after a reload, because it's dynamically loaded from somewhere or even a frame handled entirely by JS. Buttons/Checkboxes that don't work, it's sad.
