> It is a mistake to assume a browser supports javascript.
I really feel at this stage in the battle that that argument is hurting the call for server side rendering. Don't get me wrong, I have been a pusher for PE for many years but it quite clearly is falling on deaf ears these days.
The reason being is that it's very easy for someone to turn around and say "none of our users that we care about turn js off". However it is much harder to ignore the fact that initial page load times with server side rendering are minimal in comparison to the render-via-js frameworks of today.
I believe we need to follow the performance argument.
