NoScript is NoGood because it's a whitelist. The vast majority of JS on the web is useful and harmless. As more websites employ AJAX and web-app functionality by default, maintaining a whitelist is pretty much ridiculous. What you want, if anything, is a blacklist. "Private browsing mode" is also more sensible than NoScript for browsing the unfamiliar Wild Web. A whitelist is the equivalent of wearing a helmet when driving. Sure, in the event you roll your car, the helmet will come in handy.
