It's dead. Web sites that just use plain HTML without JS or
animations or other glitz are just not "cool" enough.
I agree with you, don't get me wrong. But the reality is that the
vast majority of Web users these days are using M$ Internet Exploiter

I'm fairly sure however that JavaScript's security holes were fixed
years ago, and any modern version of NS or IE should offer very little
risk with JS turned on. ActiveX, on the other hand ... *shudder*
