Progressive Enhancement for JS is overrated.

In today’s web, HTML + CSS + JS is a package deal. Almost every browser supports the trio, and let’s be real: users expect apps to work smoothly with JavaScript.

95%+ of users have JS enabled – why build for the exception?

Modern frameworks thrive on JS – React, Vue, Angular. They’re the backbone of today’s web apps.

Progressive enhancement slows devs down – why optimize for edge cases when you can focus on delivering value?

Sure, some readers might need no-JS support, but let’s be honest: that's rare.

What’s your take? Are you still team "progressive enhancement"?
