Wow, you are clearly not a web developer. Care to explain how
Javascript is bad? Without it, no AJAX and no fake thick client web
apps like Google Maps.

CSS? Double-plus-good. Separation of content from presentation is one
of the core principles of software engineering, or so I've been
taught.

Cookies? Well, I guess you could go either way, but most large
e-commerce sites require 'em. I have Firefox set to query me whenever
a site wants to set a cookie, and I usually say no, unless it is a
site that I trust, and I see how the cookie adds value to my
experience (e.g. personalisation, etc.).
