The degrades gracefully rule only applies to javascript. The site looks like complete ass without CSS, so we don't make allowances for not using it.

I disagree.
For 3 years, it looked quite presentable.
It wasn't until this most recent update that I noticed anything odd WRT Degrades Gracefully.
It's not a huge deal. It's simply odd.
(I have noticed a similar oddness with a dup'd headline at Common Dreams[1] after their most recent update.
These 2 are the only sites where I have noticed this particular anomaly.)
[1] With that site, I can get past that point using a #FragmentIdentifier.

You're free to feel this way but you must know you're pretty much a demographic of one in your quirky way of visiting the site, yes? That's not to say we for sure won't accommodate you in the upcoming attempt at Improved Nested(?) (essentially Nested with the old js buttons revamped for it), just that if something benefits N-1 users and inconveniences 1... Well that ain't complex algebra there.
For the immediate term, I'd say use something like Stylish or some other way of injecting a tiny bit of user-supplied CSS to make it tolerable to you, because Gracefully Degrades was never, and probably will never be, meant to apply to CSS.
