Depends on the site, really. A lot of sites I've seen seem to go overboard with gratuitous Javascript. My school webmail works better if I turn Javascript off, e.g. it will then let me open an email in a separate tab (though for a quick email check between classes/meetings, I'll just use pine). Slashdot and GMail are the only sites I visit regularly that need Javascript to function well, and they're still workable without it.
