Bad example. Gmail provides a not-as-pretty but very usable non-javascript version of the app.

The HTML-only version is a completely different app. I think the gp meant that sometimes it is not possible to code an application to degrade gracefully. If you want a no-js version you have to code that (almost) from scratch. And gmail is a perfect example for that.
