I have no problem with javascript. I think javascript can greatly add to the web experience.

"Add to" being the keyword there. Not "in lieu of".

You want to add javascript to enhance UI/UX outside the scope of what can be accomplished with plain html? Great!

You want to use javascript to add a feature that simply can't be done over plain html? Great!

You want to use javascript to hide a bunch of text on a public webpage, so those who have javascript disabled on their web browsers can't see the text, and will be forced to enable javascript, just to look at some text on a webpage? Unforgivably garbage design!

I will remind you that github used to work perfectly fine without requiring javascript merely a year ago. At least for basic perusal.

I think it is extremely silly design if I'm required to enable javascript, just to look at some text on a public webpage.

Again, nothing against javascript. But don't make it mandatory is what I'm saying, especially for casual browsing.
