There is a place for Javascript, but it feels like it's being excessively overused.
Anyone who browses with Javascript disabled (using, for example, the noscript browser add-on) will be aware how many sites, even those with mostly text content, fail to load without Javascipt.
Google's blogger/blogspot service is one of the worst offenders. Here's an example: the official Android blog from Google. The page simply won't load with Javascript disabled. Once it is enabled, you have a page of mostly text. This is simply bad web practice in my opinion.
