Now obviously I don't know how they arrive at that metric, and what influence the direct download from noscript.net has.
I wouldn't want to browse with anything but NoScript, CS Lite, RefControl, Adblock Plus and Ghostery. If your site doesn't work, too bad for you. I'm not the person who makes a living selling stuff on the interwebs.
The "Gawker Experience" (white page, nothing of value is lost) is quite common, and I like it.
There are useful applications of Javascript, but they are rare. You have to show me that it's useful to me, and I will then give you my CPU time. Not the other way round.

I guess the only way to know how relevant it is to cater to noscript users is to measure how large a chunk of potential customers your leaving behind relative to the cost of fixing your site to work without JS.
- EvilTerran 15y ago> The "Gawker Experience" (white page, nothing of value is lost) Bingo. Since I first installed NoScript, I've started noticing a correlation between how gracefully your mostly-static website degrades without javascript and how worthwhile your content is. Those that fail completely rarely have anything worth looking at on them anyway.
