I hope you adviced graceful degradation?

Exactly.  That's one of the reasons you're wise to disable js when
browsing the internet.

Ah, you mean the kind of browsers that can't even display those
helpful popup windows, withhold all those magnificent banner
offerings, and enable the disabled to surf the web, and run on your
(Linux) PDA?

As for crappy, that's very much a personal opinion.  I have heard of
people that like to use graphical browsers, and navigate using a
mouse.  Really!

I very much hope that phpwiki will remain best accessible with any
brower, see eg:
