With Noscript enabled I have the power to chose what to trust and not to trust. That means I have gradual control over what runs and doesn't run, and can chose to only allow the bare minimum for getting a specific page to run. It's that simple. JS is fine as a technology, but blindly executing every single piece of code on every single web page is simply not a good way of doing things.
