I wouldn't imagine that many tech-savvy folks disable JS very much these days. I think most people can appreciate how far it's come and what kind of role it can play. I understand the security concerns but I think the pros greatly outweigh the cons. I could be completely wrong though. In regard to development, it really depends on the kind of development you're doing. In most cases, just make sure the functionality degrades gracefully if a user has it disabled. If you're building larger apps where JS plays a major role, let the user know they should allow JS to use it. IMO, unless you plan on making sure the app degrades completely this is the way to go.
