Not from any reliable source I've seen. 10% and rising. Too many
popups and lots of other things. It's not the Amish - it's the smart
people who know how to turn off javascript who do it.
Javascript should always be used to enhance the experience - but never
be required for the experience.

Bullshit. But if you want to turn away 10% of all internet users (and
the business they bring), it's your loss, not mine. Or at least I
*hope* it's your loss, and not some client who doesn't have a clue.
