This sounds like someone trying to sell me a Turing tarpit of 1995's internet. "You can still create beautiful, functional, and compelling web content" - beautiful sure, compelling maybe if a static site is what you want, but functional - not really, unless you abuse the permission of JS to reinvent the wheel enough.
My goal here is not to try to convince people to build in 20k lines of JS what they could've done with a simpler Rails implementation or something of the sort, but to take a moment to self-examine whenever starting a new project if there's not a minimal approach to doing what one wants.
For many people, sites which will ultimately be static or very simple, people insist on installing a CMS like Drupal or Wordpress and end up bogging down the user experience and their own usage experience. The idea here is: look at all the tools that you can use to make great content that could still fit these seemingly harsh limitations. Instead of Wordpress, maybe a static blog-generator a la Jekyll (though, again, currently there's the limitation in Neocities of subdirectories).
