Agree. But I think that's usually a result of poor design and poor coding
than a fault of using web for an application (vs desktop). (Of course,
there would be exceptions to that where you should rather use a desktop.)

There are great many applications where JS is not even necessary. I don't
know why people use it where not really needed.

For 90% of my browser usage (reading, searching, general browsing) I have
been using elinks for years. Turn to firefox only when there is no option.
At times I disable javascript in firefox as well.
