In contrast to not improving UX, or to use some other technology? Or to drop the idea that the web application/sites should also work without JavaScript?

I used to be in the camp of "it should also work without JavaScript". Thus only use JavaScript to improve UX, but not depend on it.

But this changed once the old Internet Explorer died, and JavaScript finally became usable for most users. Now I think having some functionality which only works with JavaScript is acceptable for websites. And for web applications depending a lot/completely on JavaScript is perfectly ok.
