There are certain kinds of websites and applications I enjoy using, and have
a need for, and there are certain kinds I don't. I don't however accuse the
latter of being poorly implemented or of using javascript for no user
benefit, or of being spyware, of being more of an hindrance than a help.

Would your opinion of their javascript change, though, if instead of it
being a service hosted by them, it was an open source package you could
install on your own servers?

You can even access it from an internet capable mobile phone, which is very
handy, especially if you accept tasks and reminders from others (eg. life
partner says "we need milk" ;-).
