A lot of commenters are completely missing the point of this site somehow. The site says:

> Not all websites need Javascript to be beautiful and usable. This is a showcase of the Javascript-less web.

It does not say:

> JavaScript is bad and no one should ever use it.

The problem is most of the websites that are being showcased are ugly and basic.

Of course, that's entirely subjective and I think several sites on this list look great. Regardless, JavaScript does not inherently make a site look better, and it isn't a necessity for nice looking sites. See: CSS Zen Garden.
