Well, having an interface that degrades gracefully when no JavaScript
is available can be a good start: at the moment the UI cannot be used
if JavaScript is disabled/broken/not available (like in text-based web
browsers).

In my opinion the massive usage of JavaScript in the interface adds
very little when compared with the good-old <form> based pages.

However, some frameworks are clever enough to degrade when JavaScript
is not available: if you are planning to rewrite the admin interface
in C++ ( :-) ) you can give a look at Wt [1] which is able to do all
of the above.
