Disagree with a few of these

There's nothing wrong with progress. Expecting a user to have a JavaScript enabled browser is reasonable

You don't expect an online retailer to accept mailed-in cash, do you?

Progress bars are annoying because that’s what scroll bars are for, and because horizontal progress bars (a) have the wrong orientation and (b) look like a loading/download indicator.
