Hello,
When switching to Emacs as my fulltime editing environment, I was
wondering if it could stand in place of an X session for most
uses. Naturally, there are those applications (Mumble comes to mind)
that don't have a command line interface (I've tried Barnard and I
didn't like the way it made my microphone sound distant). Another use
case that I am not sure how to get around is the JavaScript issue; I
don't think that eww supports it, given that when I tried to load a
JavaScript site, things went totally crazy and I needed to reboot the
machine. Any tips would be greatly appreciated in making Emacs my main
interface.
Thanks,
Hunter

Hunter,
The closest thing I know of that can do what you looking for is called exwm.

http://edbrowse.org/ is supposed to have the best JavaScript support
out of the available non-graphical web browsers.
