There are indeed honourable exceptions, but they are exceptions. The fact that on many corporate sites I cannot even get to see the company name until I have enabled JS in three rounds with NoScript is silly. Sometimes I just don't bother. As yes I am running a supercomputer right now, I quite agree, but I don't want nefarious stuff run on it. And on my mobile I don't want to be wasting my battery power on emulating Deep Thought to get past the throbber. Most sites want you to see some text. Many don't let you see any without scads of JS. (Note: I do use JS to enhance my sites, but the JS is small and the sites work fine without it running.)
