I'm wondering just how pervasive JavaScript is. This article states that 73% of websites they tested rely on JavaScript for important functionality, but it seems to me that the number must be larger. Have any surveys been done on this topic?

Maybe a better way to phrase this question is - are there any sites that don't use JavaScript?

EDIT: By 'use', I don't necessarily mean "rely on for important functionality" - that was just the statistic that one article gave.
