That's childish and petty.
You know that Facebook uses javascript? Do we stop using javascript? How about html? Do we shut that down? How about http? Do we shut that down? How about tcp/ip? How about the ascii character set?
The internet is based on Open standards. The idea that we would create a new standard just because someone we don't like is using that standard is a non-starter.
The idea that we would then kick out the people who created the standard to begin with, who founded this ecosystem because they made a decision that we disagree with, you're not looking for the internet, you're looking for high school. Everyone can form their clique.
