I used to think that Javascript was evil too, but after learning it in a
trainging class, I'm not so against it--ASSUMING it's used in a
reasonable way!  I guess I'd define that as things which help the user
when done on the client side:  field validation, image maps,
mouse-overs, and a few other things; but that's all.  I think the reason
most of us don't like it is because it's used for too much.  IMHO of
course. :-)

Besides, if you want to have a web page do something dynamic on the
client side, what else is there to use?  JScript?  (may it never be!) 
Don't want that "evil empire" stuff! :-)

I also agree with everyone else who wrote that lack of Javascript & CSS
will hurt BrowseX's spread.  I know I won't bother looking at it for
that reason.

Now if I can just find to time to get qmail working, then mutt (or
something else like it), then I can evaluate browsers and lose
Netscape(tm).  I hear the team who took Mozilla and removed all the junk
but the browser come up with something good (I think it's called
"galeon").

I also loved the comment on the "selling points" page:  "As TCL is
highly stable and efficient crashes are uncommon".  I'll presume that
TCL crashes in an unefficient manner? :-)
